Business disruption!

I have now received a reply from Cllr Sean Anstee in response to this petition who is looking to receive the signatures imminently! He did also advise me that once I deliver this petition to him, then the results are final, meaning that any signatures dated thereafter will not count towards making a difference, and so if this should be the case I then urge you to spread the word and get the signatures that are needed for our voices to be heard! And from the business perspective; We have had to currently close the shop within the Mall, this will be for four weeks, whilst the business is thoroughly assessed and had a major overhaul, which has been brought about by the business rates, which have had a severe impact upon Sewconvenient Limited. I feel that the government backed agencies that have been put in place to help and support us small businesses have actually created such a widespread problem, which is actually, detrimental to the success of such businesses!
