Nearly £360,000 of business rates debt owed to Salford council - mostly as a result of firms going bust during the Covid-19 pandemic - has been written off. Some £288,000 went unpaid by a total of 36 firms which became insolvent while two companies "absconded" without coughing up a total of £70,000.
