Proceeding contribution from Jim Shannon (Democratic Unionist Party) 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

As the hon. Gentleman says, the Portas review is very important. It mentions America and France, but not good practice in Northern Ireland. One example of that is the chamber of trade working with the council to provide financial incentives, such as reduced car parking charges and a transport system that brings people from the edge of towns to the centre.
