SHOPKEEPERS are invited to a series of workshops to help them meet the challenges of the current economic climate.
Devon County Council have organised four workshop events throughout September.
They are an opportunity for rural shopkeepers to get together to discuss any difficulties they may be facing.
A spokesperson for Devon County Council said rural shops, in-particular, who rely completely on the custom of their local community, could be susceptible to downturns in the economy.
