BRITAIN NEEDS a “massive change”, small-business owners told Labour’s Rebecca Long Bailey in Bolton today.

Launching the party’s 20 pledges to business, the shadow business secretary met with owners of small enterprises in the Lancashire town to discuss their concerns about the economy.

Questions focused on poor infrastructure in the area and how a decline in CCTV and policing has encouraged an increase in vandalism and violent assaults on shopkeepers.
