Businesses take a huge knock

Can businesses in the area survive the Covid-19 pandemic? This is the question Talk of the Town will be asking local business owners in the next few weeks.

This Easter holiday is going to have a big impact on our tourism industry, but also those businesses that support our visitors such as our stores and other support and service industries; restaurants, cafes, clothes shops, sporting goods outlets and so forth.

What will be the effect on these businesses and can they survive the national lockdown?
