I understand that the lady who owns the now defunct Baxenden Post Office Building still has to pay Business Rates even though the PO is closed and the property for sale - are all the "shops" on Blackburn Rd which are permanently shuttered also paying the full Business Rate or have they received change of use status?
Perhaps one of our elected members can advise, although I won't hold my breath awaiting a response - I have tried not to make any spelling mistakes in order that I do not fall foul of the new Spelling Commisar.
