Council chiefs and businessmen have clashed over plans for the future of Hartlepool s waterfront.
Submitting.
Hartlepool Council Leader Cllr Shane Moore (top) and MP Mike Hill fear the Tier 4 restrictions will hit local businesses.
He said: “Whilst I do appreciate this move into Tier 4 could potentially bring numbers down faster, as the leader of the council I am also expected to look at the wider implications and I believe moving into Tier 4 will bring further devastation to our local economy and put more people in Hartlepool out of work.”
Cllr Moore said Hartlepool’s rates were not increasing at the same pace as in the south of England and believed a national approach would have been fairer.
