Ely has a diverse and exciting high street, and I love visiting local businesses in the constituency. I visited Hughes Electrical and Pocock and Shaw, two independent businesses that have served the local community for many years.
Businesses consistently raised that it is vital that free car parking is maintained in the local area and that inappropriate car parking along the high street should be tackled. I fully support the first point, and I have raised the issue of unsafe parking with East Cambridgeshire District Council.
I welcome the views of local businesses and entrepreneurs and have followed up and helped to resolve many issues such as the filling of potholes and the removal of graffiti in the past. If you are a business owner and would like to raise an issue please email me on [email protected]
