Attn: Revenues Managers
Colleagues,
I am taking this opportunity to forward on a communication we have received today from the Business Rates Retention Group; the contents of which will be self-explanatory:-
“Dear Steering Group and Working Group Members,
We would be grateful if you could share this through your networks. We are currently fairly short of attendees in the York and Newcastle events in particular.
Booking is open for a series of free workshops on business rates retention, which will be taking place in late August and early September, providing an opportunity to hear about the Government's initial consultation, published in July and feed into the consultation process.
The events are jointly organised by the Local Government Association and the Department for Communities and Local Government and will cover the main aspects of the consultation. They will also enable local government to provide feedback on the consultation proposals.
The free events are open to all local authorities’ resources portfolio holders, as well as local government officers. Each workshop will cover the same content and delegates are free to book a place at any of the workshops, at six locations across the country (subject to capacity).
The events are taking place at the following locations and times:
§ York - Tuesday 23 August, 1pm to 4pm BOOK HERE
§ Newcastle - Wednesday 24 August, 10am to 1pm BOOK HERE
§ London - Thursday 1 September, 1pm to 4pm BOOK HERE
§ South Cambridgeshire - Monday 5 September, 1pm to 4pm BOOK HERE
§ Taunton - Friday 9 September, 10am to 1pm BOOK HERE
