Little did we know the innocent 'new members meeting' at the invitation of the Lord Mayor, and organised by Federation of Small Businesses, would achieve so much front page publicity with not one but two days headline coverage in the South Wales Evening Post!
Lord Mayor Richard Lewis addressed local businesses at the event at the Mansion House. He took the opportunity to congratulate the Business community in these challenging times but also called for action on so-called 'druggies' and vagrants who were making life very difficult indeed for retail businesses in the High Street and other City centre locations. The problem of vagrants seems to have worsened during recent times with the police and local authority struggling to cope. The Business Improvement district has done very little to address this particular problem and it is time for businesses to come together and take action. The meeting was well attended, with some 40 or so local businesses from the Swansea Bay Branch of the FSB.
