With a drive towards encouraging people back on to our local high streets and a push towards shopping local, are road restrictions and closures around the county helping or hindering.

Should car parking charges being temporarily suspended or is it right to have them in place?

Are shop rates driving businesses out ?

Is shopping on Internet retailers such as Amazon just too convenient?

How do you think the local high street and all our independent traders can be helped?

Interested to hear your views.
