We hear through the media that many shops are closing in town centres and need some investment and support.
York in particular can not expect small shops to compete due to the present rates system that is approved by the government. Things must change otherwise shopping will be done by email.
Car parking hinders many getting near shops. It is carrying goods distances that is difficult, especially for the elderly, disabled etc.
