Alexander Stafford, MP for Rother Valley, said: "It is important that those in power hear first hand from local businesses about the issues and challenges they face, and have opportunity to put forward what solutions they would like to see. These kind of meetings are crucial for ministers to understand what is really happening in the economy.

"Small businesses are the lifeblood of our local economy and I will always ensure they are heard at the top table."
