A 481% increase in business rates, from £111,000 to £645,000 a year. Hearing this from Kevin Martin, Managing Director of MML Leisure, shows the reality facing hospitality.
These are the kinds of costs that make it harder for businesses to keep going.

▪️@DonaldCMacleod (Holdfast Entertainment)
▪️@SMontgomerySHG (Scottish Hospitality Group)
▪️@BergsonMichael (Buck’s Bar Group)
▪️@JohnMcGlynn (Scottish Capital)
A stark warning from the front line of Scottish business: rising costs, a broken system, and the real risk to jobs, investment, and the future of our high streets.

GLASGOW: "This government is funded by our industry (retail & hospitality) but is doing its most to destroy us"
@BergsonMichael
@GlasgowCC policies like LEZ are destroying many of the sectors that bring jobs, people and life to the city
We must #FreeOurStreets in Glasgow
Delighted to see the comments on this post.
The public are not falling for this.
Low Emission Zones will save lives.
Reducing air pollution in our city centres helps us all to breathe cleaner air.
Every Green vote makes a difference for people and planet. #VoteScottishGreens 🌍

Glasgow Low Emission Zone means "a lot less everything sold across the city centre... a penalty based system is the wrong way"

There are fears extending parking charges will "decimate" Glasgow's economy.
The council plan to make motorists pay until 10pm - and a new poll from @FSB_Scotland and @scothospgroup has found 97% of city firms reckon that'll damage trade
Half say they'd need to cut staff while four in ten fear they'd go out of business.
