SALISBURY'S independent businesses are launching their first Indies brochure.

It is a comprehensive listing of all independent shops, salons and cafés in the city and has been backed by the Salisbury Business Improvement District and supported by Addison Design.

It contains a map so locals and visitors can search out businesses that they may not have visited before and will be available all over the city and in the Information Centre.

Susi Mason from Casa Fina welcomed the brochure saying: "In Salisbury we are lucky to have an enviable selection of indie businesses which are greatly valued by our loyal local customers but also by visitors to the city.

"In recent years we have lost some favourites but have equally been pleased to welcome some new names in every sector and are looking forward to new openings this year."

This July will see the fourth Salisbury Independents' Week which will run from June 29.

There will be offers and promotions and lots of information celebrating the diversity of independent business in Salisbury on Facebook www.Facebook.com/salisburyindependentsweek and twitter @salisburyIndies.
