A total of 53 properties in Peterborough currently receive complete rates relief from Peterborough City Council according to the latest data. Local councils across the country make decisions on whether businesses are eligible for relief and collect payments. Peterborough City Council has a set of guidelines used when assessing individual applications for rates relief, including applications from charities, community amateur sports clubs, non-profit making organisations and other businesses. The council's policy takes into account applicants' contributions to local communities, the financial cost to taxpayers and how the applicants' activities supplement or advance the council's strategic objectives. National or large-scale organisations already receiving 80 per cent mandatory relief are likely to only receive discretionary (20 per cent) relief top up where the council considers that the value of the service to residents and local communities exceeds the amount of the discretionary relief requested, as well as if the service they provide relieves the council of the need to provide that service. The council says that applications for relief are unlikely to be successful where the council considers that the organisation has a 'significant level of income' or 'readily available unrestricted reserves' proportionate to the level of relief being sought. A full list of the guidelines can be found on the authority's website. Peterborough City Council leader Dennis Jones recently confirmed that the authority was reviewing all organisations and companies in the city that benefited from rates and rent relief. It came after questions were raised over Peterborough Community Radio (PCRFM), a station which former council leader Cllr Wayne Fitzgerald helped to set up, which has received complete rent and rates relief since it moved into the Herlington Centre in Orton Malborne nine years ago. Cllr Jones previously told the Local Democracy Reporting Service: "What we're looking to do is we're looking at every single organisation and, if they qualify for free rent and rates, then that's how it works. So we're not singling out any company at all. "Every organisation that gets rates [relief], they have to qualify for it. And if PCRFM qualify, then that's absolutely fine." Cllr Fitzgerald said the council was "quite right" to look at its assets.
