Scott in local business Barnecutts

Scott has consulted with local businesses and campaigned to reduce the bureaucracy and taxation with which small traders in particular are burdened. Scott shall continue this campaign, especially fighting for small businesses. The Conservative-led Government has delivered 3690 apprenticeships in North Cornwall, enabling young people to start a career.

Scott has campaigned for the A30 dualling at Temple. The work could begin as early as March. With two lanes in each direction, and bringing much needed road improvements to North Cornwall, it should help all businesses in the constituency.

Scott has also discussed the plight of our dairy farmers with visiting ministers. We must make it easier, rather than harder, for people in agriculture to be able to perform in a way that ensures a reasonable living.
