One of the effects of the Supreme Court's voiding of prorogation is that the Bills that would have been lost are still in the Parliamentary process. One of these is an otherwise obscure measure to allow buildings with public toilets to claim exemption from rates.
If this comes into force, Brent Council should investigate whether it can claim exemption for its own buildings. The Civic Centre, and all the Council libraries have publicly available toilets which meet disability access requirements. Savings on business rates could be substantial.
