High Street Shops: Illicit Activity

Contribution

That is indeed shocking and very short-sighted. The real issue in my area is that our council is under intervention, so its ability to plan and take enforcement action, and to put planning conditions on town centres to better reflect what people are after—rather than the best way for businesses to turn a profit—is somewhat hampered.
