Posted on 4:39pm Monday 26th October 2009
A new owner for Gatwick will bring real business benefits to the Gatwick Diamond. But it also opens the door for more argument & debate. I think I know what business thinks.

Local Taxation ... Local spending
Posted on 11:15am Monday 12th October 2009
As you will know, we have been pressing for local taxes to be spent locally as it is ridiculous to see so much of our Business Rates spent elsewhere in the country. About £300m is collected from businesses in the Gatwick Diamond with around 9% (£27m) returned to this area. As far as I can tell, the rest is used to prop up the poorly performing regions in the rest of the country. At a recent meeting with Jonathan Shaw, Minister for the South East, we urged him to look at spending money on the South East’s infrastructure as a priority, before it becomes a necessity. I don’t hold out much hope.
