‘Survey results published earlier this month back up our thinking that tourists wouldn’t be put off from visiting the city should one be introduced.’
‘The Government needs to intervene if we are going to avoid unpalatable cutbacks next year.’
‘Our own firm has decades of experience of funds where success is measured in financial and social outputs for customers spanning all forms of central and local government.’
‘This new fund is a further important step by giving smaller builders access to the finance they need to get housing developments off the ground.’
All income will be spent on ‘economic regeneration and growth of our district.’
‘Top of the Government’s list should be simplifying the process and making sure adequate support is in place.’
‘We’ve reached a point where councils will no longer be able to support our residents as they expect.’
‘It will do little to aid town centres, since it is not an answer to the high cost of operating on our high streets.’
