A recent council scheme to encourage new shops to come to the town centre has not gone very well – not one single business has taken them up on the offer!
In fact the number of empty shops has actually increased over the last few months.
Simon Werner has persuaded the council to revise the scheme to make it more flexible so that it is actually useful for local businesses.
Simon Werner says, “We need to be doing everything we can to make it easier for local businesses.”
