Scotland relief: businesses need reassurance now, in this third lockdown, that the Government still has their back and is invested in them – as the Scottish Government has done, chief executive of the Scottish Beer & Pub Association and the British Beer & Pub Association, Emma McClarkin, says Business rates relief will be extended for Scottish pubs for an initial three months as Chancellor Rishi Sunak has been urged to enable a further extension for all pubs.
Scotland s Finance Secretary Kate Forbes pledged to continue relief on non-domestic rates for an initial extra three months funded by money reimbursed by supermarkets.
Extending the measure further would require additional funding from the UK Government, she said.
WHITBY has four piers and their stories are told in a new book, Whitby in 50 Buildings by Colin Wilkinson. Indeed, Tate Hill Pier may be the oldest non-religious building in the town as it was first mentioned in 1190, when it was made out of fallen cliff rocks to protect boats in the harbour. The West Pier, which juts out into the sea on the opposite side of the river, was properly constructed in the 1630s under the direction of the local MP, Sir Hugh Cholmley, of Abbey House. During the Civil War of the 1640s, Sir Hugh initially sided with the Parliamentarians and in January 1643 dashed his army of 500 men, plus cavalry and dragoons, across the snowy moors to the Tees Valley as he had heard his distant cousin, Colonel Slingsby Guildford, was amassing a Royalist army of 700 men at Guisborough and preparing to march on Whitby.
