'They are not only an eye sore; they are a threat to the status and value of what is supposed to be the nation's premier shopping street.'
Thirty US-themed sweet shops on London's Oxford Street are being investigated for allegedly failing to pay £7.9m in business rates.
"Instead, we believe that these properties are used to avoid business rate bills and possibly commit other offences." "They are not only an eyesore; they are a threat to the status and value of what is supposed to be the nation's premier shopping street," he said. "The people selling overpriced and often out-of-date sweets are cheating the UK taxpayer and very often swindling their customers into the bargain."
