Hythe Against Starbucks

Starbucks have never paid full tax - in case you hadn't noticed, tax-dodging is losing our economy over £8 billion a year in lost revenue. Our infrastructure including hospitals, police force & schools are at breaking point following drastic cuts to their funding by our Conservative government. We, the residents of Hythe do not want another tax-dodging big business to do business in our town, taking custom from the owners of our unique independent (tax paying) cafes. Hythe is sought after place to live BECAUSE it has a unique high street. Uglyfying our high street will also effect local property businesses as it will become a less attractive place to live. We do not want to become a bog standard, ugly high town with generic, plasticky shops like every other. Where is it all going to stop?
