Representation Summary:

(RSS) Any policy proposals must have in mind the needs of all of these diverse aspects of the local economy. This means that an emphasis must be placed not only on facilitating home based businesses, with such matters as improvement of communications facilities including improvement in broadband speeds and capacity but also positive support from the Council in planning and advice to encourage the development of sustainable local businesses, whose total carbon footprint inevitably will be lower than others who have to deliver goods and services from miles and even continents away.
