BUCHAN & FAULKS DON'T RATE BUSINESS RATES AS A VOTE CATCHER

Dearest Dame, 

I own a business in the Borough employing 6 people. I am contemplating closing it down

Business in our Borough brings jobs and economic activity but is weighed down with rents and worst of all Business Rates. 

I pay a rent of £60,000 a year and around £27,000 in Business Rates so before I start sending out invoices I have an overhead of nearly £100,000 a year

This government has been in power for 11 years. 

In all those years it has done nothing to help businesspeople like me yet claims to be the party of business.

And why would it? There are no votes in easing the burden of business rates. Even Labour wants to scrap them.

This is why the likes of our MP, Felicity Buchan and our 'Business Genius', Cllr Faulks just pay lip service to reform. 

They could not care less despite the fact that our hard work provides employment and economic activity.

Our MP, Felicity Buchan, seems more concerned with political advancement and the less said about Councillor, The Lady Faulks, the better. Faulks creams off £45,000 a year on the Council just because she is a friend of the Leader!

No one seems to know what business nous she has apart from property hunting for billionaires.

What a mess!

Yours sadly, dear Dame

  1. The idea of Faulks being able to teach a business person anything about how to run a business is a very sick joke: she is very thick!

    Faulks is in charge of the Libraries but has a reputation for grammatical and spelling mistakes.
    She needs to avail herself of the Literacy Courses available courtesy of the Library Service

    Councillor Mills was very glad to offload her on to Campden Ward. Ask her why.

    1. Cllr Mills, we all think highly of you-the Leader we wished for but never had.
      Can you tell us how Cllr Faulks justifies her £45,000 a year? Is she quite as useless as people say?

  4. Faulks will not be forgiven or forgotten for supporting Nick Paget-Brown's closed meeting at the time of Grenfell. The woman is a dolt and has no judgement.

    Can we all stop being nasty to Catherine? OK, she may not be the brightest but bringing up her slip of the tongue when she said taking rent from a Grenfell survivor was a 'tiny thing' is not fair. When you are as rich as Lord & Lady Faulks everything is relative.
