After reviewing the Neighbourhood Plan, I am concerned about its approach toward local business support. The current descriptions of economic policies seem to favour larger corporate entities while neglecting the small businesses that are the backbone of our local economy. Community character relies on the uniqueness of local shops and services, yet this plan fails to sufficiently acknowledge that. I propose that we should develop policies that facilitate the growth of small enterprises and cater to their needs specifically, ensuring their longevity and success. This will not only retain the character of our neighbourhood but also bolster employment opportunities for residents.
