ACS has called for Government to scrap plans to impose a cap on the size of business that is eligible for compensation under the Riot Damages Act.
The Riot Damages Act that was used to assess compensation during the 2011 riots was originally published in 1886.
Simon Danczuk, Rochdale MP, will take on the Chairmanship of the All Party Parliamentary Small Shops Group following Priti Patel MP’s promotion in the Government reshuffle to Exchequer Secretary. ACS Chief Executive James Lowman, said: “We are pleased that Simon is taking on the Chairmanship of the Small Shops Group. Simon already has an exemplary record campaigning on small shop issues such as business rates and planning policy. We would look forward to working with Simon over the coming months to get local shops’ voices heard in Parliament.”
