Bradley has kept his promise and voted to cut business rates for thousands of retail, hospitality and leisure businesses.

Ever since he was first elected, the local MP has been campaigning for business rate cuts and last night he kept his word and voted to cut business rates for pubs, restaurants and shops in Bromsgrove an the Villages and across the country.

Bradley said:

"Ever since I was first elected I've been campaigning for business rate cuts - and I was proud to vote for that last night.

"Labour, the Lib Dems and Reform UK MPs all failed to back the Conservatives' (fully costed) plan to cut business rates for thousands of retail, hospitality and leisure businesses. Shameful.

During his speech in the House of Commons yesterday (November 4th), Bradley set out the case for revitalising our high streets and how cutting business rates would help high streets to thrive.

"High streets and town centres are barometers of society as a whole," he added.

"The Government must support Conservative proposals to abolish business rates for shops, pubs and hospitality businesses, saving a typical business around £9k per year."
