While that may be true Retlaw, the business rate is a different matter.
It will just show whether our own council is proactive in getting new businesses to come into the borough.
If they can now set lower rates, then surely this must make the borough a more attractive place to site business.
This logically would mean that there would be more jobs available to local people and that has got to have a positive effect on the local economy.......added to that the fact that the council can KEEP this money to improve services, rather than tip it up to Whitehall.
This is definitely going to sort the wheat from the chaff.
If we see improvements then we will know that there is someone(and quite frankly I don't CARE if it is a councillor or someone from the back office.....I just care that SOMEONE has the brains to do something which will regenerate our town) is doing all they can to make the place somewhere that business wants to be.
The council will no longer be able to blame central government for the lack of funds because it will be down to them to see that funds are generated.
