sometime ago an issue regarding the hot dog van in the high street was rightly raised on here, and that issue rectified.
although still unsure what the real issue was.
im hearing now that bobby has been told having not had to pay rates for 9 years but instead pay a big annual fee to the council
and without any consultation that he has to cough a large figure for these rates.
Bobby tells me at no point has the council come to him to say this may be a future venture, nor has local business's local people, or bobby himself been consulted.
It appears a rather bizarre way to conduct council business, and i do hope any of our councillors can look into this(wont ask any individual cllr this time)
bobby recently had a decision overturned for his stall in Deal recently and hes concerned that he may be being victimised.
of course as i explained to him, i'm sure even though theres been no consultation, all traders will also have to pay these rates, which will hit heavily anyone thinking of running a market stall, and the local shops who like to extend there shop fronts.
of course the council will be looking at new ways to bring dosh in, but this could well have an adverse reaction, .
it's a sure way of bobby rejoining the over 3 million people on benefits which would be a shame for many reasons
