If the Council was serious about helping businesses it would come clean about the 10% it gets from Business Rates.
These stupid awards(one is for demonstrating diversity!) do nothing to assist struggling small businesses.
Business Rates strangle enterprise.
The Conservatives have had years to make reforms but have done nothing. Joe Powell tells the Dame Labour will urgently review this pernicious and unfair tax.
Let's hope it does.
The Dame knows of one well-known and highly regarded jewellery retailer paying £77,000 a year in Business Rates.
