Calls for support to businesses as restrictions roll out
We’ll be seeing the rest of government’s plan B measures coming into force this week
A business campaign group supporting people across East Yorkshire and Northern Lincolnshire says the government’s plan B restrictions is causing worries for employers.
We’ll be seeing the next lot of restrictions being rolled out this week including COVID passports for nightclubs and venues holding more than 500 people.
Claire Reading is from the Federation of Small Businesses serving the Humber – she said:
“The Plan B restrictions will add to existing consumer concerns about the spread of omicron further dampening and already suppressed appetite for the festive celebrations and trips out. We are hearing from members across the hospitality space woke up on Thursday to a fresh flurry of cancellations.”
There are calls for small businesses across East Yorkshire and Northern Lincolnshire to get support over abusive behaviour from customers.
Claire added:
“Small firms urgently need re-assurance from the Government about how it they intend to manage Plan B rules. Small businesses still cash strapped be set by surging prices and trying to navigate yet another unconventional seasonal period, simply don't have the capacity to be enforcement officers.”
