But the clock is ticking.<\/h2>\n <p>\n This week, journalists and locals catalogued over a dozen empty premises on a single street in Pwllheli. \n Visitors described being <strong>“shocked by the emptiness.”<\/strong> Longstanding businesses have left. \n Even charity shops have closed.\n <\/p>\n <p>\n The cause isn’t just falling footfall. It’s a system that taxes businesses on the space they \n occupy \u2014 not the revenue they earn. When a revaluation adds <strong>15.2% to rateable values<\/strong> \n overnight, margins that were already thin simply disappear.\n <\/p>\n\n <div class=\"quote-block\">\n <blockquote>“The business rates are killing the High Street.
