Shoppers in Exeter are being urged to support the city's independent traders today - it's 'Small Business Saturday'.
It's a national campaign to promote smaller enterprises and put money back into their local economies.
Shops and cafes in Exeter's Fore Street have suffered a downturn in trade lately and are hoping for a pre-Christmas boost.
A number of small businesses are taking part in a scheme where anyone spending £10 or more with them gets a double-stay parking permit, courtesy of the city council.
