rates!Charitable and non-profit making
organisations in the Sevenoaks district are
being reminded that they can claim an
important discount on their business rates.
Groups such as scout groups, village halls and
voluntary organisations, could all benefit
following a recent review of discretionary rate
relief by Sevenoaks District Council.
Discretionary rate relief is a percentage
reduction off of the business rates bill.
The
percentage can be variable, and every
application will need to be assessed before a
decision is made.
Businesses can also apply for two other types of
relief, rural rate relief, which applies to certain
types of village shops, and hardship relief,
which only applies in exceptional
circumstances to local businesses who provide
a service to the community and are suffering
financial hardship.

Last ditch appeal for hospital
It seems the Petition and the march to save
Queen Mary’s services by hundreds of
residents, local Mps and the London Mayor
himself has fallen on deaf ears so the Old
Bexley and Sidcup Conservative Parliamentary
Candidate James Brokenshire is now calling on
residents to write to Health Secretary Alan
Johnson about the need to save services at
Queen Mary’s Hospital Sidcup.
In the next
phase of the campaign to stop the loss of
maternity, accident and emergency and other
services, local Conservative campaigners were
asking shoppers in Sidcup High Street on
Saturday to sign letters of objection to be sent
to the Secretary of State.
It highlights the failures in the consultation
process over the plans, sets out some of the key
reasons to retain facilities at Queen Mary’s and
calls on the Department of Health to stop the
cuts at QMH.
The health reorganisation
proposals have now been referred to Mr
Johnson by the Joint Health Overview and
Scrutiny Committee and by Bexley Council.
The Secretary of State will have the final say on
whether the closure proposals should be
confirmed.
Commenting Mr Brokenshire said: “Now
that the decision on retaining key services
Queen Mary’s rests with the Health Secretary,
it makes sense to focus the campaign pressure
on Alan Johnson.
We need to make sure that
he gets an unequivocal message from local
residents that essential health services should
be kept at QMH.
“The cuts at QMH will have a damaging
effect on healthcare in Bexley and if they go
ahead risk being a slippery slope to closure of
the hospital altogether.
That’s why it’s so
important that everyone who feels strongly
about the future of Queen Mary’s writes to the
Health Secretary to ensure he appreciates the
significance of the decision he now has to
make.
”

from the Sidcup Barber Shop on Sidcup High
Street or from Old Bexley & Sidcup
Conservatives, Station Road, Sidcup.
