1. An immediate freeze on current business rates at the November budget to make time for an URGENT FUNDAMENTAL REVIEW of the whole system
2. Public Houses want a new formula on the way their rates are calculated. Must be fair to all pub models as the current system is unfit for purpose.
3. Special consideration for pubs and small businesses to encourage growth paid for by higher rates on larger businesses.
4. A cap on the % increase that can be made on Rateable Value Revaluations (every 5 years)
