Conservative candidate in the Stretford and Urmston by-election, Emily Carter-Kandola is keen to make the case for the investment the area needs. The government is investing over £17.6 million through the Future High Streets Fund to regenerate the constituency, helping to regenerate the local economy. Emily will be a campaigner for our fair share of help in the future.
Emily has also highlighted the announcement in the Autumn Statement of a £14 billion business rates package to support high streets. Emily said “Over the next five years the government will provide a generous support package to help the high street and protect businesses from large business rate increases by freezing the multiplier and reducing bills by six per cent from what they would be. This support will particularly benefit the retail, hospitality and leisure sectors which have been hit hard by the Covid-19 pandemic.”
