That the Parliament commends Lenzie in East Dunbartonshire on securing an extension to its Fairtrade Town status, which the area has held since 2013, until July 2020; acknowledges that this extension has been given following a lot of hard work by Lenzie Community Council, local churches, East Dunbartonshire Council and local community groups, and understands that the Fairtrade Foundation is delighted by the way the town is campaigning to make Fairtrade a part of everyday life for the community, which it considers will also help farmers earn their way out of poverty.
