We re back in business );

BUSINESSES in and around Henley are hoping to make up for lost time as they prepare to re-open on Monday.
Non-essential retailers, including clothes shops, are allowed to trade again, bringing some relief to the embattled high street hit by the coronavirus pandemic.
Hairdressers, beauty and nail salons and gyms can also open.
Pubs and restaurants can serve food and alcohol outdoors only. The rule of six up to six people, or two separate households will apply, as will social distancing rules and the wearing of a face masks.
It will be the first time in months that these many businesses have been able to earn any money.
I really support this initiative by the Winds of Change, said Lil wat Nation Chief Lucinda Phillips in the release. No one in our community is exempt from the impact of Residential School because of the intergenerational effects of the trauma. A campaign like Reconciliation Week is not only to educate others but it also represents another step in healing for the survivors by having their experiences acknowledged.
Canada s residential school system was designed to assimilate and integrate First Nations people into Canadian society, but many students faced horrible experiences and substandard education as a result. Stories of sexual, physical and mental abuse, illness and punishment for practicing Aboriginal culture are common among survivors of residential schools. For more than 80 years, up until 1981, Lil wat children were sent to residential schools in Williams Lake, Kamloops and Mission, said the release.
Businesses say lockdown grants won’t cover losses );

BUSINESS owners in Henley say the grants being offered by the Government will not be enough to offset the damage of the latest lockdown.
People in retail, hospitality and leisure can apply for between £4,000 and £9,000 per property depending on its rateable value.
This is part of a £4.6 billion package announced by the Treasury, while the employee furlough scheme has been extended to April.
The national lockdown has forced all non-essential businesses to close for the third time since the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, meaning they still have bills to pay while receiving no income.
