Reviving the High Street
The Liberal Democrats have launched a scheme to revive local high streets. It was launched by Simon Hughes in Southwark. These are the proposals
1. Revitalise high streets and markets giving community councils more control, creating a new 'I'm shopping locally' parking scheme and introducing a levy on large supermarkets.
2. Offer business loans through the council to help start-up companies in Southwark obtain the financial support they need to start trading.
3. Use new powers to reduce business rates to support struggling businesses and encourage regeneration where it is most needed
4. Create 1,000 new apprenticeships in the borough to help to revitalise the local economy and create lasting jobs.
5. Open a new 'Jobs & Enterprise Hub' offering information and support on jobs and training, as well as providing desk space for start-up businesses
