Maybe it would be worth doing some kind of fact finding mission.......asking questions, such as...what are their pricing strategies for small businesses? What relief(if any) do they get for starting a small new business? How is this relief funded?
As soon as you say it can't be done, it closes the door to any imaginative and innovative ways of making sure that it does happen.
It would certainly bring folk in from surrounding towns...those, who like me, are fed up of seeing the same retail giants taking over the town centres all over the country.

I tried to type something like this last night but couldn't get my words right so I scrapped it
We can't compete with the bigger towns and cities in terms of footfall for big retail giants, lets be different, after all smaller independent retailers don't need the same massive footfall to pay thier shareholders. They just need a system which gives them chance to operate
