Number 7 Cafe in Rushmere Shopping Centre was hit with the £71,041 bill from Land and Property Services this week

The manager of a Craigavon shopping centre cafe has hit out at what he says is an ‘extortionate’ rates bill of more than £70,000 for the year.

“For a cafe in a shopping centre to be having to pay out over £7,000 a month just on rates is not viable really,” Kris told Belfast Live. “It would be handier just to be an employee somewhere because you’re not getting anything out of putting all that extra hard work in as a business. Kris says the cafe has been forced to increase prices on certain items in recent weeks, bit that decision can only take you so far and will end up in customers staying away.
