As we prepare for a brighter summer, the UK is entering a new recovery phase of the pandemic with our successful vaccination drive leading the way. The economy is being gradually unlocked as shops, outdoor hospitality and – mercifully for many – hairdressers in England join those preparing to reopen next week in line with the Government’s roadmap.
This will be an important stepping-stone towards bringing back the buzz and vibrancy of the Square Mile. I urge workers, visitors and residents to support these local City businesses and institutions as they emerge from lockdown while also complying with the remaining restrictions.
