2. Suppliers to the retail, hospitality, events, and leisure sectors, not liable for business rates, but with other commercial property costs.
3. Market traders, (permanent or casual) trading in Waltham Forest and licensed by the Council.
4. Other businesses legally required to close, operating from commercial premises that are not separately liable for business rates.
