Additional documents:

Decision:

That the extension to the local Business Rates Discretionary Relief Policy in respect of charitable and voluntary organisations for one year from 1 April 2021 be approved.

 

Minutes:

Councillor Louise Miles presented the report on the proposal to extend the Council's scheme for Business Rates Discretionary Relief for charitable and voluntary organisations with effect from 1 April 2021.  In doing so she paid tribute to charities and voluntary organisations in the city for all that they do for the city and its residents, and particularly for the tremendous work they have done over last year in the face of the Covid-19 pandemic.  She also drew to the Panel’s attention the importance of the scheme as an important part of the Council’s Equalities agenda in that the Council continued to support charities and voluntary organisations in the city in their work supporting the most vulnerable residents.

 

Resolved:

That the extension to the local Business Rates Discretionary Relief Policy in respect of charitable and voluntary organisations for one year from 1 April 2021 be approved.
