Will you take an intervention? It's on that specific point about BIDs, and it's a key point. I know that they work very well in many areas, but certainly in my area, I know that Abergavenny was given the option of having a BID and rejected it. So, would you agree with me that, when you're setting up a business area like that, it's important that you get buy-in in advance from the local businesses and from the local people? Because if you don't have the buy-in of the people it's supposed to help, then you won't really get anywhere with it.
