    It's not the Council who own those run-down buildings, but they can and do issue section 215 notices to the owners of the buildings.

    Businesses will only open if they feel it is a good area to open one. DDC are doing all they can to create a good environment, but they can only do so much. The developers will be spending their own money, not the Council spending yours.
    The Council don't set the business rates.

    Many, probably most, of the owners of the run-down properties you mention, are owned by people who live far away, some not in this countries and it is quite possible they may be unaware of their complete property portfolio.
