I thank the Deputy for the question. I will speak to the local authority about whether there have been unnecessary delays in completing the roadworks which can have a very large impact on businesses. Rates alleviation and rates bills are matters for councillors who must decide if they want to target particular parts of the county to support certain businesses at certain times or encourage a particular type of economic activity. I will also speak to the local authority about the issue.
