I wish the Minister well in his important work in this area. Might it be possible to engage in a public relations programme on the restoration of pride in local areas? Restoration of pride is important, both for people living in the area and people who look at the area to live in or invest in. It would be of huge benefit if the Minister was seen to be restoring pride in local areas, whether urban or rural, and creating the aura of confidence that is necessary for business and communities to survive.
