Save Craft Coop Camberley – Reverse the 140% Rates Hike!
We, the undersigned, call on Surrey Heath Borough Council to urgently review the decision to deny discretionary business rates relief, following a 140% increase affecting Craft Coop CIC’s shop in Camberley since April 2025. This increase threatens the future stability of Craft Coop, the creative microbusinesses it supports and its vital community outreach.

Why is this important?
Craft Coop CIC brings craft-making and community together by running town-centre shops that showcase and support local artisans and makers, and by hosting art workshops and outreach activities in care homes and community groups. We also organise seasonal events and school partnerships, supporting local charities with in-shop fundraising, whilst engaging in broader community initiatives.
