Here is what they had to say: I don t feel it goes far enough Cllr Stephen Berry (Harnham, Conservative), said he felt the scheme did not go far enough. He also said he did not feel the motion covered the process needed to go through before a fresh proposal is considered. It was not people friendly Cllr Kevin Daley (St Francis and Stratford, Conservative), said he spoke to hotels, charity shops and other businesses around the city centre who suffered as a result of the scheme. One problem he encountered was customers at the Red Lion Hotel, who were unable to get to the hotel without a permit, which created problems for the owners of the hotel.
WITHOUT customer support over Christmas, hospitality and nighttime venues may not be here next year, a Salisbury partnership has warned. Hospitality operators across the city reopened last week after the second national lockdown, but must follow Tier 2 measures across the festive season. This includes a closing time of 11pm, accepting guests from the same bubble only, and only serving alcohol with a substantial meal. As a result venue owners fear they may not be here next year and are urging for residents support. Amanda Newbery, of Chapel Nightclub, Vestry Bar, Duke of York pub and the Purple Flag steering group, said: My heart goes out to all the licensees and their staff this Christmas.
