TRADERS in Monmouthshire have called for clarity and better funding after the health minister hinted at further extensions to lockdown this week. On Monday Vaughan Gething told reporters at a Welsh Government briefing that despite figures across Wales improving, the headroom the Welsh Government has for lifting restrictions is “limited”. He extended his sympathies to traders, but poured cold water on suggestions some might reopen to customers after the next review on February 19. It means it will be at least March 12 - the date of the following review - until traders can expect any changes. And while business owners across Monmouthshire understood the need to remain closed, they have lamented a lack of funding and transparency since Christmas.
