Non-Essential Businesses Going to Have to Shut Xmas Eve (Wales)

In the News

Well, this is a killer for us.

Non essential businesses have to close ☹️

My wife has tried so hard on this, but it's going to go moobs up. I just hope that the landlord of the shop will be understanding so that he'll let us close the contract early.

I wish everyone with businesses that are going through a really crappy time all the best.

I'm afraid this is the flip side of allowing people extra "freedoms" over the Christmas period .

We all know that the infection rate is going to go through the roof after Christmas unless people are really sensible and responsible (Fat chance !!!) .

Not in your position and not a fan of Mark Drakeford but I do agree with this proactive approach . To often the measures brought in have been reactive , by which time it is already too late .

I would think there is lots of advice out there as literally hundreds of thousands of small businesses have been dealt similar blows over the last 9 months . Best of Luck !

Guess "essential" for them is allow beer, but forbid people to buy clothes and books. As they've done in other parts.

What I don't get is why we still have different rules for the 4 nations. You would think that with brexit ***** around the corner they would unite the nations and have same rules across the board

Sadly even in the midst of a crisis it's still political . Totally irresponsible to have different rules . To be fair I haven't a clue which are the "best" or most "effective " rules but the Tories make the rules for England , the SNP for Scotland , the Labour run Welsh Assembly for Wales and a coalition for Northern Ireland .

Not a political point , it just that they feel they have to do things differently , succeeding only in adding to the confusion felt by many .
