Tired after work, I ventured for Fish and Chips. Martin at Winfield has two signs on the big roundabout. ‘its like a lifeline to the business – such a fuss to get two signs – ‘oh u cant do that they (the council) said – and yet in the end they were helping! You see fishes heads actually point so u get directions to the shop ‘gosh, that’s not allowed on these signs’ I hear the council say. I said something about the councils obstructive ways which I won’t write here.
We all now how true this sort of unhelpful behaviour is and there is no wonder so many small businesses founder in this atmosphere. So there is little wonder at all that small businesses close and jobs are lost. How on earth can the UK prosper in this sort of atmosphere? Why do we struggle on – yet we do.
If your biz is called Sainsbury’s or Morrison’s u can take up the challenge and use legal power to get what u want. If u are just starting out it is so much more difficult.
Read this Mr Cameron and Mr Clegg and put pressure on so the councils are more helpful , Also keep the Biz Rates down, as they are until October. Scotland helps SMBs with its far seeing parliament, then we can do the same.
