That's a Relief

After the recent credit crunch summit, Reading council leader Jo Lovelock has urged small businesses to check whether they are entitled to received the small business rate relief.

Councillor Lovelock told us: "We sat around all day and all agreed that in keeping with Labour Party national policy we were going to do absolutely bugger all in practical terms to help people other than tell them to claim stuff that they were already entitled to and pretend it is new help." She denied however that the small business rate relief was targeting the wrong areas. "I disagree with that interpretation. Thanks to Alistair Darling, pretty soon all our businesses will be small businesses... like MFI and Woolworth."
