Businesses invited to event hosted by Local Economy Forum tonight

The newly-formed lobby group, Local Economy Forum, is hosting the event at the Palace Hotel from 6:30pm.
Following approval last month, the hourly rate is set to rise from £12.25 to £13.46 from 1 April.
The Forum says its immediate aim is to take on the current government policy and propose an alternative.
