Supporting independent shops

Last Friday Leicester's elected city mayor, Sir Peter Soulsby, announced a new initiative to support independent shops, particularly those on major routes outside the city centre. Partnership funding is available for:
  • making shop fronts more attactive
  • better street signage
  • making the general environment more welcoming to shoppers.

What are the chances of our Tory councils in Harborough and Glenfield doing anything similar (or, indeed, anything at all) to help our struggling independents in Lutterworth and Broughton?

  1. What a good idea! Lutterworth and Broughton shops would certainly benefit from something similar.
