Not a good day for Johnstone. The Square used to be vibrant… the local council need a re think and reduce rates in shops to entice new small business’s to rent local spaces
Our Squares are stunning. – shouting out for market days.. we have enough shops and chemists
Marie Roberts the council have no funds to upgrade the shops they have in Johnstone.
Most of them need sorted out before they are upto rental standard.
It’s not so much rstes as most of them get rates free under the rates free under the rates relief …
