Proceeding contribution from Jim Dowd (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 17 January 2012. It occurred during Backbench debate on Future of Town Centres and High Streets.


Future of Town Centres and High Streets

I shall come to that in a moment. Perhaps I have not made myself clear. I do not think that the threat comes from new developments, the construction of which seems largely to have abated, as the hon. Member for South West Devon pointed out. The fear is that we have already created too many of them, and that they will still have an effect on the traditional town centres and high streets.
