David, good morning

You would be wrong to assume I'm not a business woman I run my own company.

As I said in an earlier post for an A board the proposed new increases are not appropriate and should not be levied, at least not at the recently advertised level.

However, licences for outside dining are another matter and I am entitled to my opinion as you are yours.Licences for outside dining are in essence cheap additional space for businesses and clearly attract additional custom and in most cases all the businesses that entered into lease agreements did so without the benefit of outside dining and later sought a licence for this facility from LBH, as its not in any landlords gift to provide a licence for what falls under the remit of the Council. So basically they knew what they were doing  when they agreed the lease and then sought to gain additional trading space at what in effect is at a heavily discounted level.

Rent, UBR and Utilities are subject to change both up and down, as are Licences and if anyone objects to the increases then they should object, but the pavement space is still cheap space in comparison to the rent levels.

I do agree that in certain parts of the High Road and roads leading from it outside space does add something to the environment, however there are parts of the High Road pavements that are just too narrow the section from the Police Station to Devonshire Road is like an assault course where one has to weave between tables, chairs and A Boards - its simply not wide enough for all the furniture businesses put out.

It's a democratic society we live in and businesses and residents have rights to object to any proposed changes to costs and OH's or any other changes they disagree with.

Once again, I reiterate the new costs for A Boards are too high, but for additional external trading space on a comparable basis to rents, its not that bad. As a business woman I do my annual business plan and make certain assumptions on OH's mainly that they wont go down and factor that into my plans.

I hope this explains my views.

regards
Loraine
