A plea for signatures from Revo Chief Executive
In a plea for support, Chief Executive Vivienne King said: "The lockdowns have exposed and accelerated the vulnerability of high street and town centre retail to the advantage of online sales. Whilst market competition is a positive for our economy, high street retailers should not have to pay such high levels of business rates which puts online retail at an unfair advantage."
Revo launched the campaign calling for business rates reform in late 2020 and it resulted in parliamentary debates, events at party conferences and meetings with Treasury officials. The retail organisation is now calling for the support of everyone connected to retail and retail property to support the campaign ahead of the conclusion of the Government’s Fundamental Review of Business Rates on March 3.
"We would very much welcome your support by signing the Shopkeepers Campaign and sharing it among your networks. Through this link you can contact your MP in less than 30 seconds and call for the urgent reform of business rates. Please click through right now since there’s no time like the moment!," added Vivienne.
