However, we have been trying all along to make sure that these are standardized across all local authorities. But above that, one of the long term issues that we want to do is that as we look at the elements of devolution under the new structure, we want to reduce the number of local authorities because this will come naturally. This will help in mitigating some of these charges. In certain instances, we have also introduced what we call the single business permits which will enable a local authority once they charge a certain fees, then it should not move on to the next local authority. We are looking carefully at all the issues of rates, licensing and revenue raising to make local authorities more business friendly."
