Action to help small shops

Today, Malcolm Moss MP launched a campaign to help small shops in North East Cambridgeshire save money by claiming Small Business Rate Relief.

Roughly half of eligible businesses do not claim the relief, according to the Conservative Party at Westminster. The reason is that many of them simply don’t know it exists. Yet it could save local shops up to £1,100 per annum. So the Conservatives have created a simple online tool to help firms check their eligibility and print off the form.

Malcolm Moss MP urged small businesses to go to http://www.conservatives.com/smallshops/. If a business is eligible it can then print out a form, fill it in and send it to their local authority.

Malcolm Moss MP said:

“Our shops and businesses are facing tough times but they are the life blood of our economy and our community. I want to help them and this new online tool is simple way I and the Conservative Party can help firms survive.”
