Help growth in cities in the UK. Helping small businesses save lives.
Encourage city centre growth. Lowering business rates by 50% for small businesses. Free parking for up to 2 hours. These measures would encourage growth. Councils then would gather some income rather than empty cites (no income) Not to pass planning permission for out of town shopping centres for 10 years to allow Cities to regenerate the retail portfolio. Large companies may leave Cities as there is less need for offices.
