small businesses

Small local businesses are the beating heart of Cornish towns, they need help from the council to stay open and running, not high rents that keep them on the bread line.

Truro city centre has seen many businesses having to shut over the last few years. The town is predominantly large chains like Primark/M&S/Waterstones or vape/charity shops, I feel no attraction to the centre anymore. The individuality has been lost from Truro. Combined with large supermarkets on east and western entrances, there is no draw for people to enter the centre itself to shop.

I wish something would be done to stop the decline of the high street and the rest of Truro. It has a horrible feel to it!
