What's on Guide to Altrincham's Night time EconomyThe BID is working on an evening 'What's On Guide' about Altrincham's night time economy including food & drink, where to go and what's on. If you're a restaurant, a bar or a business who puts on evening activities, please let us know if you would like to be included, by emailing Update from Trafford CouncilTrafford Council has asked the BID to share the information below about the closure of Regent Road Car Park. You may be entitled to Small Business Rate Relief if you feel your business has been negatively impacted by the car park closure. Individual businesses or landlords can prepare their own evidence and assessment to submit with their application for a reduction in business rates to the Valuation Office Agency, or they can employ the services of a qualified ratings surveyor to submit an appeal on their behalf. The Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) offers 30 minutes free advice on their enquiry line - 024 7686 8555 (call charges apply). RICS also offers a ‘Find a Surveyor’ Service. The normal basis of a RICS surveyor’s charge would be for a percentage (depending on complexity) of the saving in rates liability achieved as the consequence of an appeal. There is generally no charge if the appeal is unsuccessful and a RICS surveyor would never ask for fees upfront. Businesses should also check if they are claiming other relief that they may be entitled to (Small Business Rate Relief and Retail Discount are probably most relevant in this case):
