That the application for hardship relief detailed at appendix (b) be dealt with in accordance of the reasons stated.

A report was submitted requesting Cabinet to consider an application for hardship relief in relation to business rates liabilities.

Section 49 of the Local Government Finance Act 1988 gave the Local Authority power to reduce or remit business rates on the grounds of hardship. Each application needed to be assessed with regard to its own individual merits.

That the application for hardship relief detailed at appendix (b) be dealt with in accordance of the reasons stated.
