Supporting Our High Streets and Local Businesses

Our economy is thriving and, locally, we we have one of the highest job creation rates in the UK. I will continue to do all I can to make sure that Richmond and Kingston are the best areas of London for new businesses to invest and for existing businesses to flourish. Our distinctive high streets are part of what makes our area special, but they are facing real pressures and they need our support. I successfully campaigned for free 30 minutes parking to help our local shops and I will continue to champion our high streets.
