P-04-599 Impact of Domestic Rating on Self Catering Accommodation - Correspondence from the Petitioner to the Clerking Team, 28.02.2015

Dear Kayleigh

It is difficult to understand what they mean at the end of their letter no further action is to be taken. Every time a letter is written with regards to this issue whether from the Welsh Assembly or The Tourism alliance they seem to be be repeating things I know already. The report they are talking about was finished in Sept 2013, it is now Feb 2015 and still nothing has been done. The Welsh Assembly have already admitted that they have made a big mistake over this. The Tourism industry is very important for the economy of Wales and this is not the way to treat hard working honest self catering business's such as ours. The Welsh Assembly and the Tourism Alliance should be on our side not against us. I do not understant what they are playing at. We bring money into this country and assist both the local and national economy. I have also spoken to other people in the industry and organisations and they have agreed on my issues and points regarding both the impact of the Domestic Rating on Self Catering Accommodation and the Marketing policy, which is bound to have implications on this also.

 Best Regards
