Strabane traders struggle with rising costs

North West Today

Available for 29 days

Business leaders in Strabane are to meet about rising costs, including rates. We speak to local traders who say it is 'harder and harder to stay in business.' They have called for the Stormont Executive to do more to support town centres. Donald Trump is to meet world leaders at the World Economic Forum in Davos and he insists a deal over Greenland is possible. And a new cross-party inquiry will examine how suicide prevention services are funded in Northern Ireland and how best to tackle the rising numbers.
