GIVE OUR SMALL BUSINESSES HELP

Having set up a couple of successful small businesses myself - a cafe bar, and a heritage shop, both still running after 30 years - I'm very concerned our small businesses in the region aren't getting the help they need ('Black cloud over county's economy', March 11).

Labour's made mistake after mistake - the fuel allowance cut, the National Insurance increase - which show they just don't understand businesses, or how to get growth.

And now family farmers I speak to complain the slowing economy means their bills aren't getting paid - on top of fuel hikes and awful weather.

The government and the council need to look very hard at how they can act urgently to help our struggling rural economy.
