To obtain approval for the Council to participate in the Lancashire Business Rates Pool for 2018/19. RECOMMENDATION 2. The Executive is asked to recommend to Full Council that: (1) Approval for the Council’s participation in a pool for the 2018/19 financial year. (2) Approval to submit a request for the Council to participate in the Lancashire Business Rates Pool for 2018/19 and future years. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION 3.1 To seek authority to participate in the Lancashire Business Rates Pool (subject to approval from existing pool members and acceptance by Department for Communities & Local Government). 3.2 The Council will be required to confirm its position on membership of the pool in time for the assumed DCLG deadline of 31/10/17. BACKGROUND 4.1 Business rates are a significant source of local authority funding. The business rates retention scheme allows billing authorities to retain a proportion of the business rates collected. Essentially business rates works on a 50/50 spilt between local and central governments, so in Burnley we retain 40% with the remainder shared as follows: Government - 50% County Council - 9% (18% of local share) Fire Authority - 1% (2% of local share) Page 9 4.2 The retention scheme is designed to reward councils that have encouraged investment and seen growth in their business rates bases by allowing them to benefit from a share of that growth. However, there is also a risk of a reduction in income where the rates base diminishes; this could be because businesses close down, move out of the area or obtain significant reductions in rateable values. 4.3 The Government calculates each council’s individual rates baseline by dividing half of the total amount of business rates to be collected by all English billing authorities for the year by the individual council’s proportionate share, which is based on its average collection rates. For each council the DCLG also calculates a baseline funding level, based on applying the formula grant process to the estimated local rates share. 4.4 Another component of the scheme is the splitting of authorities into tariff and top-up authorities. District councils in two-tier areas are tariff authorities; the council’s individual rates baseline is greater than its baseline funding level so the Council pays a tariff to the Government. This year (2017/18) Burnley’s tariff is £5.722m, this has been reduced from £7.173m in 2016/17 following a reduction in the overall rateable value of businesses within Burnley as part of the 2017 Valuation. County councils and fire and rescue authorities are top-up authorities because their baseline funding level is greater than their individual business rates baseline. These authorities receive a top-up grant. 4.5 The scheme operates by way of a levy (on disproportionate gains) and a safety net (to limit losses). The levy applies where the retained share of rates income for the authority exceeds its baseline funding level. The safety net is deployed when the retained share of rates income falls below 92.5% of the baseline funding level. 4.6 Burnley’s position in 2016/17 Burnley was a member of the Lancashire Business Rates Pool during 2016/17. The 2016/17 outturn position shows £5.127m of business rates income is being retained in Lancashire which would otherwise have been paid over to the Government. Burnley’s share of the retained business rates was £0.678m. The Council retains 90% of the retained business rates with the remaining 10% payable to Lancashire County Council. As a result Burnley benefitted from being a member of the pool and has retained £0.610m which would otherwise have been lost.

    Annual Report 2016 SUPER SLOW WAY_ ANNUAL REPORT 2016 2016 has been an extraordinary year for Super Slow Way. WE HAVE SUPPORTED AND DEVELOPED 30 PROJECTS WITH OVER 200 ARTISTS 20 ARTS ORGANISATIONS AND OVER 40,000 ATTENDANCES Bringing great art to the banks of the Leeds & Liverpool Canal Connecting people with artists, each other and their waterway SUPER SLOW WAY: SPARKING A CREATIVE REVOLUTION IN PENNINE LANCASHIRE. Cover image: Shapes of Water, Sounds of Hope. Photo by Graham Kay This image: Kinara. Photo by Matthew Savage superslowway.org.uk 3 INTRODUCTION IN 2016 SUPER SLOW WAY WENT FROM BEING AN IDEA, LOADED WITH POSSIBILITY AND PROMISE, TO AN EXPLOSION OF ACTIVITY. WE SUPPORTED AND DEVELOPED 30 PROJECTS, IN WHICH WE CONNECTED OVER 200 ARTISTS WITH COMMUNITIES IN THE FORM OF COMMISSIONS AND ARTIST RESIDENCIES, MASS PARTICIPATION PROJECTS AND THREE MAJOR FESTIVALS. IT WAS A VERY BUSY YEAR INDEED. Throughout the year we celebrated the Bicentenary of the Leeds & Liverpool Canal – the UK’s longest waterway and the artery that powered the heart of the Industrial Revolution: the mill towns of Pennine Lancashire. Our bold programme has nurtured the beginnings of a creative revolution along its banks, as the post-industrial landscape is transformed and repurposed for social and civic activity. We have watched people come together through art and seen communities begin to think about their self- representation and self-determination, whether through mass participation projects such as Shapes of Water, Sounds of Hope in Brierfield and the thunderous triumph ofSuper Slow Way: A Rhapsody to the Leeds & Liverpool Canal; or in smaller, gentler, but equally profound, projects such as Stephen Turner’s Exbury Egg in Burnley, idle women’s floating arts centre, andBeyond Labels with the young men of Hollins Technology College, among many others.
