We have some amazing cafes, restaurants and pubs right across Plymouth and South West Devon. I love using them! But the Labour government is making life unnecessarily difficult and putting the whole hospitality industry at risk.
A petition has been started by three well-known Plymouth venues to highlight the impact of increased business rates, increased minimum wage and increased national insurance.
Sign their petition here: www.savehospo.com
I’ll share more in the coming days and am keen to hear from other local businesses about how these increases are affecting them. Do drop me a line if you’d like a chat - rebecca.smith.mp@parliament.uk.
