Street smart

-

THIS week’s High Street Hero awards showed that town centres can fight back.

They honoured the entreprene­urship of people helping to keep communitie­s alive.

That task is made all the harder when shoppers are being charged a fortune to park.

We understand that cash-strapped councils, starved of funds by central government, are desperate for revenue. But they also need to recognise that this stealth tax is one of the reasons why our high streets are struggling.
