The Panel is invited to comment on the Business Rates Discretionary Rate Relief Policy.

Executive Councillor: S Ferguson

By means of a report by the Council Tax and Business Rates Manager (a copy of which was appended in the Minute Book), the Business Rates Discretionary Rate Relief Policy was presented to the Panel.

Following a comprehensive introduction by the Officer and Executive Councillor, Councillor Kerr praised the new format of the report and stated that it was much easier to read, a sentiment which was echoed by the Panel.

There being no further questions, it was thereupon

RESOLVED

that the comments of the Overview and Scrutiny Panel be passed to Cabinet for their consideration when making a decision upon the recommendations contained within the report.
