I've had endless calls and messages from operators in the last 24hrs. Fearful, anxious, at their wits end. These "leaks" and "rumours" from the Government, are just despicable. The toll on peoples mental health is at tipping point.

Long weekend ahead with legals, but we feel very strongly about our case Non essential retail has UNLAWFULLY been given priority over hospitality and we SHOULD also open on 12th April, not wait until 17th May We will take this to the High Court for a Judicial Review if needed.

Finally, I can confirm my legal team and I are now in discussions regarding the lack of evidence to justify the delay of the reopening of hospitality compared with non-essential retail.
