Mr Musto said grassroots traders should be more involved in discussions. As has become common practice in Wales, the Welsh Government is likely to notify publicans on the Friday before restrictions are formally lifted, giving little time to prepare for a definite opening. “We need more guidance on how the reopening will work,” Mr Musto said. “For example, will we be able to serve alcohol? I assume that will have an impact on whether some reopen. “I certainly hope the Welsh Government has learned from its mistakes in December, because that was a really unfair and misguided decision which hit this industry tremendously.”
