Back to EpisodesVape Shop Seeks Fire Fund Despite Debt
Description
Glasgows vape shop, Scots World, may receive up to £25,000 from a new business recovery fund, despite skipping rates payments and not being on the tobacco registry. The £4.4 million fund aims to help businesses affected by the Union Street fire, with eligible applicants being primary leaseholders registered for rates. The shops property has a rateable value of £18,800, leading to an annual bill of around £9,362 before relief. City leaders emphasize the fires impact on small businesses, with quick support being a priority. However, some voices call for stricter checks on shops with spotty records before handing over public money.
