"That is when I started Clay [hair salon] when there was no one in the village - so I chipped away and purchased shops to create destination points.
"I have not spent ten years trying to help build this village to just watch it fall down.
"I had to prop these businesses up but also make sure we keep the community’s heartbeat pumping."
