The hospitality, events, leisure and entertainment sector has still not been allowed to trade due to Covid restrictions. It is deeply unfair that these businesses will have to start repaying loans and tax deferrals within a matter of months. This will kill many businesses who are hanging on by a thread.
Businesses in this sector employ a vast workforce many of whom are young people. They are an important part in creating employment opportunities and a vibrant high street.
