Cut Business Rates for Gyms to help Protect Preventative Health
The Government must introduce a 15% cut in business rates for gyms in line with the similar support package for pubs announced recently.
I understand pubs have been labelled as playing a ‘vital role’ in communities but surely gyms do as well in respect of the health of the UK. We believe greater NHS costs would be incurred if more gyms choose to close due to increasing costs. Having business rates at unaffordable levels can actually reduce the amount of tax received as businesses close voluntarily, reduce staff or go bankrupt. The media has covered this happening to pubs and the PM has reacted, but gyms are also suffering.
If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
