MP Launches High Street "Health Check"

August 9, 2012 1:51 PM

David Ward listens to concerns of small business

David Ward MP has today embarked on the first stage of a tour of the Bradford's High Streets to find out how the city's businesses are coping with the tough economic climate.

David will begin in Eccleshill and the Barkerend Area of Leeds Road where he will meet local business people and gather their views on Government policy and the recession. He will also be distributing a more detailed survey covering issues such as employment and training, taxes and parking.

Commenting, David said:

"Bradford's high streets have suffered more than most in the recession. Parts of Bradford have more empty shops than anywhere else in the country and this is a tragedy for the city's image, its economy and our communities.

"We need vibrant and diverse high streets where people will choose to their shopping. The Health Check is an opportunity for me to find out how businesses are coping, and what the Government can do to help them grow."

    If you are a resident of the Bradford East constituency and are writing to discuss any issue that Parliament or government is responsible for, you must provide your home address as MPs are generally only permitted to act on behalf of constituents.

    If you are not a constituent, you do not need to provide your address, but the matters we can deal with are more limited and you may wish to contact your local MP in the first instance.
