Closed petition To address the demise of High Street Businesses by reducing Business rates.
Closed on
My local high street is littered with empty shops and the few remaining businesses face closure in the coming months. This is a result of high business rates and rents.
The Government should either reduce business rates or devolve the setting of rates to local authorities.
