Welcome to Look Local Hello to all the residents and businesses in the Hollywood, Majors Green & Solihull Lodge area.
ook Local was launched over 21 years ago in Solihull. Since then it has
L taken the same formula and now boasts 48 local business directories in
and around Solihull, Warwickshire, Worcestershire, Staffordshire and The West Midlands. We are pleased to announce that from April we will be distributing the Look Local free of charge, every month, to over 4,500 homes and businesses in the Hollywood, Majors Green and Solihull Lodge areas. The content and information found inside Look Local is invaluable to the local community who use it and local traders and services who advertise in it. We have a ‘Local Events’ page where any community based organisations can let the people of Hollywood, Majors Green and Solihull Lodge know what they have got on in the coming month free of charge!. You will find a wide selection of different trades and services within Look Local each month, so the next time you need your carpets cleaned, garage door repaired or even your chimney swept, you can ‘Look Local’.
