It would now be eligible for small business rates.
Alison Broom, the Chief Executive, drew attention to the report that had been received in February 2016 which covered the lease arrangements for Maidstone House, including relinquishing the lease for one part, and potential investment in the retained part to extend the Business Terrace offer.
A Member moved to record a vote of thanks for the officers involved in the Business Terrace.
