Ask your council to #UnlockTheHighStreet

As part of our #UnlockTheHighStreet campaign, we're working with councils across the UK to pioneer community-led high street revival. The first step councils can take it to pass our #UnlockTheHighStreet motion, which will help tackle some of the biggest issues facing struggling high streets – from business rates to absentee landlords.

Will you take action now by asking your council to pass our motion?

Dear Name,
Your message*
Our high streets and town centres are the backbone of our local communities. However, many are struggling. Even before Covid-19, our high streets and town centres faced challenges. The past months of lockdowns, uncertainty, reduced footfall, and new safety requirements – as well as a financial crash squeezing consumer spending – has only accelerated this trend. As the Leader of our Council, I’m contacting you to ask you to consider supporting the Co-operative Party Unlock the High Street motion, which commits to tackle some of the biggest issues facing struggling high streets – from business rates to absentee landlords. I’m also emailing to ask you what the council is doing to improve our local high streets and town centres – I know that councils have all sorts of pressures, but I’m keen to hear about what our council is doing to support our high streets.
Would you like to receive email updates on this campaign and other ways to get involved with the co-operative movement?*
