- The cost of doing business continue to increase and over the last while we have seen many cost headings increase bu a small amount including min wage, sick pay, energy, vat etc. Individually they are small but collectively they are having an impact on business

- Retail in the centre of our towns is vital to the longer term sustainablility of them and the communities they support, we need to do more to encourage and promote more retail in towns
- The plans to introduce auto-enrolement for pensions are confusing businesses at present and there is a lack of details and planning for same.
