Steven Steele, of Corner Bikes, has recently been invoiced by the council for payments."It has not assisted me in any way. I've not seen a rise in trade."He added: “They can’t back up their spending claims.”He said: “We are refusing to pay. It’s £300 a year for a few flowers. Businesses are struggling and some are going out of business.
“We get zero benefit from it. We have had to put our prices up just to stay in business because we are struggling just to stay open with rent and rates now so expensive.“The money they are trying to take from us as small businesses is disgraceful, so to be asked to pay this on top of everything else for zero benefit is too much.“I don’t see why we have to pay it.”Jeff Kearns runs Clever Clogs shoe repairs and key cutting on Kilmarnock Road.“It has gone up by 10% as well to £330.
Yuriy added: “The business owners I have spoken to want to be able to work hand in hand with My Shawlands BID to create a thriving and transparent business environment for the whole community.” “It has not helped us. It may help others in other parts of the area but I am paying to take money away from our business.“The small businesses voted against it but bigger companies voted it though."
