Chelmsford upgraded to Fairtrade CITY status

Chelmsford became a Fairtrade Town in 2005, when then Lib Dem Group Leader Cllr Phil Harvey and Conservative Yvonne Spence proposed a motion at Chelmsford Council. The recent application by the Chelmsford Fairtrade Campaign has been renewed and Chelmsford is now, officially, a Fairtrade City.

Said Malcolm Wallace, "Fairtrade City status only came about as a result of your efforts and all those people, churches, schools, trade unions, employers, retailers and many others that use and promote Fairtrade.

"We also had a bonus. The application submitted by your committee was considered to be of such a high standard that it is to be used as a model for others to follow.
