There are 62 people running a business in the Parish, most of them as sole traders, 25% of whom are in agriculture and a further 25% are in the hotel/catering or tourism industry.
There are 5 people who intend becoming self employed within the next 12 months, and a further 28 people might want to set themselves up as self employed, but a mixture of reasons prevent them from doing so:
- 12 through lack of finance.
- 9 through lack of contacts.
- 7 through lack of business skills.
- 6 through lack of premises.
- 5 through lack of confidence.
Business Units
There was considerable objection to making land available for small business units:
- 139 (58%) No to units
- 46 (19%) Yes to units.
- 56 (23%) No opinion.
Recommendations
- To encourage those wanting to become self employed to access the necessary skills /training.
- To assist those seeking paid employment.
- The Parish Council to bring to the attention of the District Council’s Planning Authority the fact that 19% of the Parish thought there was a need for land for small business units.
