Jan, they don't pay any businesses rates because it is deemed uninhabitable and therefore has the same status as if it had been demolished: no building, no business rates.
The fact that they make money from these masts should be enough to ensure the owners pay rates - what stupid laws we have.
All this while local small businesses are paying far too much in business rates for the level of trading they are doing.
Peter at Blakes in Castle Street started a petition some months ago to get the government to charge them for rates, but it had to be suspended for the election, maybe we ought to start it up again.
