Councillor Malcolm Meerabux supporting Watford's Fairtrade Fortnight
Fairtrade Fortnight was celebrated in Watford, with free chocolate given away in three supermarkets.
Watford Fairtrade Steering Group held pop up stands in the Co-operative in St Albans Road, Sainsbury’s at the Dome and Cha Cha Cha Tea-room in Cassiobury Park.
Many customers were given Fairtrade certified chocolate to try, in conjunction with Fairtrade Fortnight, which runs from February 25 to March 10.

Listen; Behold, there went out a sower to sow: And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up. And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth: But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away. And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit. And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred. And he said to them, He that has ears to hear, let him hear.

Three venues giving out free chocolate.
The freetrade steering group, whoever they are, got involved.
Hardly Watford getting behind them is it?
