SOUTH Lakes MP has called for new grants to help businesses trapped in Tier 1.
Tim Farron said: “Judging by today’s announcement, the Government seem to think that everything is hunky dory for hospitality businesses in Tier 1. But they have totally forgotten that our local hotels, restaurants, cafes and pubs are heavily reliant on visitors from Tier 3 for them to make a living. We urgently need to see the business grants for Tiers 2 and 3 extended to cover hospitality businesses here in Tier 1 so that jobs and businesses don’t fall off the cliff edge this winter.”
