  From Howard's link, the last paragraph is something that our councils should take to heart............
  
  "The Treasury sometimes changes the rateable value of business properties, in a process known as revaluation.
  
  So in effect, the government sets the rates and the councils collect them. It's the councils, Ms Portas argued, that could make a difference to High Streets.
  
  "Simple initiatives like offering business rate discounts for independents and entrepreneurs, refusing Out of Town planning approval, and scrapping parking charges, will go a long way in helping our high streets," Ms Portas added.".........
