The PSOE candidate for Mayor of Murcia, Pedro López, presented this morning at a news conference program proposals Murcia 100% for small business.

Lopez noted that the plan designed by the PSOE to the town, the traditional trade is one of the main area of ​​Murcia City, "because it is necessary to strengthen it to make it more competitive with large stores that have proliferated in recent years. "

In this sense, the naive socialist believes that no more licenses should be granted new hypermarket until they know the business impact they have on small businesses and no body has been a readjustment of supply and demand.

Signaling

To convert Murcia shopping in town, the Socialist candidate proposes a series of measures such as roads covered with more commercial awnings to beat the heat, designing strategic trade routes with the largest areas of shade, benches, humidifiers and implement a good signage.

Lopez explained that this must be accompanied by improved access, where citizens gain space and create a friendly environment to invite to buy.

Associations

In addition, the socialist candidate has committed to develop, together with trade associations of neighborhoods and districts, Town Centre, promoting integrated actions to promote associations.

These projects related merchants have a common corporate image and can offer their customers a range of benefits including free parking, discount campaigns, and create opportunities for leisure.

Small retailers could also benefit from measures to improve their training in areas such as dressing, on-line marketing, languages, among others, to increase their competitiveness against large shopping centers.

Lowering taxes

Other proposals on which today insisted Pedro Lopez is the temporary exemption from payment of the waste collection rate and fees for processing a building permit for repairs to the shops, all raised by the City Council during this term and rejected by the PP.

Finally, the Socialist candidate has indicated that the PSOE is aware of the serious state of difficulty facing the retail sector in the Region of Murcia, for which we must find ways of promoting, for example, the Local Development Agency to alleviate crisis in this sector provides more than 20,000 permanent jobs in the municipality.
