Background

The government published ‘Business rate supplements: a White Paper’ on 9th October alongside the 2007 Pre-Budget Report and Comprehensive Spending Review.  This followed the Government’s commitment to report back on proposals for a Supplementary Business Rate (giving local councils a power to levy an additional payment on top of the national business rate) in the light of the recommendations of Sir Michael Lyons’ inquiry into the role and financing of local government.

And if that’s not enough, have a YouTube video of a cat on a treadmill set to a soft-rock soundtrack for good measure.

Yes, I’m totally re-hashing last week’s B3TA newsletter, but what do you people want? Blood?!
