    That's right Barry, but the rateable value is set by the VOA and that figure is just not realistic for the businesses, not those in Dover.
    The VOA are incapable of making such allowances or even listening to arguments that their trading levels are low.
    There is no flexibility and no one arguing for that flexibility - the Chamber should be fighting their cause, not agreeing with the VOA.

    Many of the local businesses are NOT trading at the level their business rates would suggest.

    I know of at least one business where their rates are going up by over 66% and that cannot be right. They have had no physical changes made to their businesses and so there's no justification for such an increase

    There will be a lot of changes in the High Street soon and not for the better; at least with DBS there was some one there who cared and helped - now nothing.
