Taking Galashiels Business Challenges to Westminster

We hear you when you talk about the challenges businesses are facing in the current climate, especially small and micro businesses dealing with rising costs, economic uncertainty and changing consumer habits.

While BID continues to focus on delivering practical support and investment on the ground for our levy payers, we also recognise that many of these challenges are influenced by wider economic and government-level factors.

That’s why Mags and Lewis arranged to meet with John Lamont to voice the comments and experiences being shared with us by our BID levy payers and local business community.

A productive meeting and an important opportunity to ensure the realities facing businesses in Galashiels are being heard at a wider level.
