Listening to Business

Visiting local businesses and listening to their concerns is an important part of local MP Stephen Phillips's job. Meeting recently with directors and staff of the successful multidisciplinary town planning and landscape architecture practice, Robert Doughty Consultancy Limited, which operates from premises in Helpringham, Stephen heard first hand of the pressures which local business are facing, particularly in terms of the red tape the Government is trying to reduce. Following his visit, Stephen said, "As we try to rebalance the economy to focus on private sector wealth creation, rather than ploughing more and more money into the state, it is important to hear what those who are on the frontline delivering the goods and services we need have to say. It has been a pleasure to be with Robert and his staff this morning and I look forward to telling ministers of the concerns which they have expressed to me."
