How about enforcing money laundering checks and close down the fronts? Pretty sure a lot of these places wouldn’t stand up to detailed scrutiny, but not sure any existing bodies have the time money or inclination to do that.
While this sounds like a good idea, the way it appears they are implementing it will fail. There’s a severely deprived area near me that has been given all sorts of regeneration funds but it’s still an absolute mess. The reason appears to be that just allocating funds is worthless if the people running the councils have no clue what to do with the funds.
The council running the deprived area near me spends funding on the most ridiculous projects that are wildly overpriced and have zero impact on the community, meanwhile the high street and crime get worse and worse.
The only way to make Starmer’s idea work is to not blindly give cash, but to allocate the money to real experts who can swoop in and dictate how that money is spent on proper projects that have real impact. Just giving cash to local councils will end in failure.
Are vape shops and fake shops worse than boarded up shops?
Nothing about how they will encourage new businesses into those units. A better use of the money would be to scrap businesses rates on the units and subsidising the rent by 50% for five years to get new and existing businesses into the units.
Money laundering, criminal activity. These shops are the ‘in your face’ side of everything that is wrong with the country. It is brazen.
Don’t forget about the snaggle-toothed scagheads roaming around town centres begging for change. Ban them too.
so we will go from having some shops in these lots to none at all.
Sure it’s not ideal the current situation but i’m not convinced that if you block these establishments traditional ones will come back
Can’t have an article about a new Labour policy without a huge photo of Farage now can we.
Block those shops but also do we really think the high street is worth saving? Is It that much of a cornerstone of society?
I hope he doesn’t miss American Candy Stores when rolling that plan out.
Waste of time and money. Highstreets are collapsing for 3 basic reasons
1. Online shopping, especially Amazon. It is easier to use, doesn’t have parking issues, and dodges taxes on an epic scale.
2. Cost of utilities, especially electricity. If Labour were serious about government, fixing the rigged energy market would have been a day one priority with daily working groups.
3. Dematerialisation. Many products that we relied on in previous decades have been digitised. Cameras, CDs, DVDs, gift cards, and much more.
We are returning to a pre-high street model where people buy food necessities in person, but order in luxuries or sometimes visit a specialist shop. It is really sad for me, as I’m a 90s Mall die hard. Still take my kids to the Mall to HMV, get an ice cream, explore the cookery/gaming shops.
gambling should be regulated out of high-street into more designated areas.
vape shops – closed altogether and selling vapes should fall under the same regulation as selling cigarettes
barbers… idk – how can you prohibit a barber?
Fake ones, sure. Those that have creative accounting – OK, deal with that. But mostly these places exist because they make money. You need a couple of people and minimal supplies, just some clippers, scissors, boxes of vapes and people do get haircuts and chain vape. Real betting shops seems to be a way of getting round restrictions on the numbers of those fruit machines that people pump money into, they can get in the bin. So what would we be left with after that?
