Follows closure of Moore's Smokehouse
A Peel commissioner says business owners are taking a 'risk' opening new shops in the town.
Following the closure of Moore's Smokehouse, Hazel Hannan is urging residents to shop local otherwise the businesses won't 'exist'.
The local authority has looked into writing a 'welcome letter' to those who are new to the town.
Mrs Hannan says Peel is benefitting from people taking a chance:
