Local MP means business with launch of new survey...

I want to hear from local business and traders to better understand your needs and concerns, so I've launched a wide-ranging business survey to help inform my work in Westminster and build a local business directory to help local people shop local and support our high streets.

I will be hand delivering letters about this in towns across Thirsk and Malton over the coming weeks, with a QR code to access the survey, but if anyone wants to complete it prior to this you are welcome to do so.

Before becoming an MP, I was in business for 30 years, so I am acutely aware of the toil and sacrifice of business owners across the country and in Thirsk and Malton.

Let’s not pretend the last few years have been easy for independent traders and the High Street but with the support put in place as by the previous Government, I believe much brighter days lie ahead.
