The council are running a webinar for businesses that may be impacted by essential works in two parts of the city:

Malago Road in Bedminster is one-way southbound only (from the East Street/Dalby Avenue junction to the Malago Road/Sheene Road junction) until summer 2024. The works are part of the regeneration of Bedminster Green, which includes installing District Heat Network pipework and improving public transport, walking and cycling connections.
Gaol Ferry Bridge between Southville/Bedminster and the city centre will close in June 2022 and remain closed for around six months to carry out essential and urgent repairs. Every effort will be made to complete the works as soon as possible.

The webinar will be an opportunity to provide information to businesses on rate relief schemes they may be eligible for and the application processes.

The schemes include:

• Retail, Hospitality and Leisure Business Rates Relief

• Small Business Rate Relief

• Businesses can also apply direct to the government’s Valuation Office Agency (VOA) to request a temporary reduction in their rateable value for the period that the works are underway. A representative from the VOA will outline the process businesses need to follow to make a request.

Date and time; Wed, 22 June 2022; 17:00 – 18:00
