READING the recent story on huge rate rises in Cowbridge, it will probably snake its way to other towns within Wales, thanks to this totally out-of-touch Welsh Government.
The useless lot in Cardiff Bay have now, as it seems, come up with a formula which reckons the Small Business Rates Relief scheme will save small businesses more than £100 million in tax, yet the business owners are now up in arms stating that their rates for their businesses are due to rocket.
One business owner has calculated that her full bill will rise from £900 a year to £5,000 a year, many others have said that the high volume of increases will result in them shutting down their companies as they will not be able to afford any increases.
Once again you have politicians, who probably have never got their hands dirty, hammering small businesses and that is just in one town. If ever there was a need to abolish this lot in Cardiff Bay this is it.
How can it be right to have these same politicians, gallivanting around the world, and in one case hiring his own private plane to get him to his destination manage to destroy all these hard working people. Shame on Carwyn Jones and his rag tag government.
