"during Independent Bookshop Week – the Booksellers Association (BA) launched a petition, requesting for the government to grant bookshops the same business rates relief that pubs are afforded.

Pubs are currently offered a £1,000 discount off their bill rate, in recognition of their role as pillars of the community, and the BA believes indie bookshops should be awarded the same status. Both create jobs across the country, both bring the community together, and they are both a cultural asset to their towns.

If you would like to sign and/or share the petition, it can be found here: https://www.change.org/p/mel-stride-mp-parliament-uk-give-british-bookshops-cultural-exemptions-from-business-rates"
