Police enforcing the licensing curfew in Southampton last November THE hospitality industry is going through “carnage” and needs more government help, an event organised by the Daily Echo in partnership with NatWest heard. The chancellor’s grants for closed businesses fall way short of covering their costs, an online “round table” event was told. Philippa Goodwin, finance director of the Hoburne Group of holiday parks – with a site at Bashley in the New Forest – said income from food, beverages and entertainments had “really suffered”, but was “slightly subsidised” by areas such as holiday home sales. “In terms of the government support it’s somewhat lacking at the moment. The grants that we’ve been able to claim this time round are pathetic,” she said.
