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 think youre right Margaret I've suggested fact finding missions to other towns before. Let's try and learn from what other towns are doing.
