The Centre for Cities thinktank has proposed a 4 pence increase in business rates, saying the supplementary business rate could fund more than 10 billion pounds of investment in public transport projects. In research undertaken with PwC, the thinktank said that the increase could fund such schemes as London's Crossrail and an upgrade of Birmingham's New Street station.
