A CAMPAIGN to boost town centres that has been launched by a Powys county councillor is nearing completion of its first stage.

The 'Help Our High Street' campaign is a crusade by Cllr Chris Davies, also the Conservative Parliamentary candidate for Brecon & Radnorshire, to bring shoppers to local high streets and revitalise town centres.

Cllr Davies has been visiting independent high street retailers over the summer to deliver copies of the 'A Vision for the Welsh High Street' document, a dossier of policies, proposals and ideas, with local businesses able to feed back their opinions on the document and also provide further suggestions as to what help they need.

He said: "The response from local businesses to my 'Help Our High Street' campaign has been fantastic. They are incredibly supportive and genuinely pleased that someone is trying to help them."
