Help for the Airports
Posted on 19th January 2021 at 15:15
Rumour has it, that in the next short while, government help for the stricken airports is going to be announced
The "help" is an £8 million grant for each U.K. airport. It is said "this can be used to help towards standing costs, such as business rates"
The problem is, this won't go very far, as apparently Heathrow airport's business rates are a staggering £10 million PER MONTH !!!
All help is welcome, but this pales into insignificance when you hear of the help the pubs, bars and restaurants are receiving...
Again, Covid has hammered almost all industries, but travel and tourism is worth £200 million a year to the U.K. economy (approx 9%)
Lets hope the vaccination programme keeps ramping up, so we can ALL try and get moving sooner rather than later...
Stay safe
Kind regards
