don't forget Betfred and Paddy PowerI know it's wishful thinking but I'd love councils to try some things to encourage the high streets to fill with independent shops again. Maybe relief of business rates, free parking after 2pm etc. Our council tax has been frozen for three years - I'd much rather start paying a modest increase if the council used the money to promote local business.
At our college we used to run business startup courses and they were always absolutely packed, so the demand and the inspiration is there - it's just the tough market conditions and huge rates that prevent them from starting.
