Issue - decisions

On 16 March 2026, Cllr Jeremy Heron, the Portfolio Holder for Finance and Corporate made the following decision:

To approve the Pubs and Live Music Venue rate relief policy (Appendix 1) and Supporting Small Business relief policy (Appendix 2).

This decision is not for call-in.  This is because, in the opinion of the Section 151 Officer and Monitoring Officer, it should be implemented urgently.  The business rate support will support businesses from 1 April 2026 and the policies have been developed as a direct response to Government policy.

Details of the document(s) the Portfolio Holder considered are attached below.
