We read that representatives of business groups, including the South Wales Chamber of Commerce and Federation of Small Businesses, have made sceptical noises about the quick-fix Lib Dem plans to boost local economies by assigning control of business rates to local authorities.
A chamber spokesman opposing the idea was worried that the extra revenue would simply go into the general running of the local authorities. He argued that control of adjusting the rates should stay with the Welsh Government.
“Allowing local authorities to alter business rates for their areas would create polarisation between areas across Wales, harming growth and business development for Wales as a whole.”
