Thriving businesses contribute not only to economic prosperity, but also to social cohesion and cultural vibrancy, enriching lives far beyond mere transactions. They provide multi-faceted contributions to local communities, and can be a focal point at the very heart of a community.
We are pro-business.
Our commitment is to: …
- Recognise the importance of thriving businesses to the local community, and reflect this in policy decisions
- Listen to the views and experiences of businesses to understand their perspective, and ensure that this is taken into account in council decision making
- Review the impact of current transport and parking policies on local businesses, with a view to revisions to, or withdrawal of, policies that are damaging
- Establish effective communication with businesses of all types: large, small, shop-front, on-line, mobile traders, mobile services, etc.
