Welsh Shoppers Urged to Choose The High Street This Christmas
Wednesday 30 November, 2016 Written by Simon Collyer
As Wales continues to show vacancy rates higher than the rest of the UK and footfall in Welsh town centres continue to fall, Plaid Cymru will use a Senedd debate to call on the Labour Welsh Government to take swift action to help small businesses on the high street.
Plaid Cymru’s Shadow Cabinet Secretary for the Economy, Adam Price, has also encouraged shoppers to choose the high street over shopping centres or online-shopping in the run-up to this Christmas.
The latest figures show that the high street is continuing to suffer at the detriment of out-of-town shopping centres, and suggest that more needs to be done to help the centres of smaller towns.
Small Business Saturday, which takes place on the 3rd of December, gives us an opportunity to draw attention to how shopping locally helps the Welsh economy.
