The gun that Mike Ashley is planning to hold to the High Street landlords is gradually getting bigger and bigger...
Not just landlords, but government/councils as well with business rates.The gun that Mike Ashley is planning to hold to the High Street landlords is gradually getting bigger and bigger...
Not just landlords, but government/councils as well with business rates.
And where do you propose councils find a third of their budget? Unless the High Street rapidly expands (lol ok) after rates disappearing, all councils would be in severe deficit.
Good, Rent and Parking costs are the death of the high street.The gun that Mike Ashley is planning to hold to the High Street landlords is gradually getting bigger and bigger...
He only needs to close the high street down in one town for everyone else to get the message.Not surprising at all, he probably realised awhile ago that if he wanted to push for a rates change he'd need to appear like someone that had significant leverage, though in reality he still has no hand to play.
As it is basically,
Blackmail the council/government-at-large or else he'll leave or capitulation.
The former means he loses anyway, not sure what he's doing honestly.
take town centres. 50-75% of shops lying empty. what is the point in taxing the remaining 25-50% to death?
What town centres do you go to?!?
My home town has zero empty shops, and other towns local to me probably have a couple of empty units maximum.
All these failing businesses Mr Ashley is buying up - He must know something that will make him some money in it in the end...
Game certainly has an expiration date - I can't believe they still have stores open honestly...
