Desolated Shops.
A quick ramble around the centre of Andover will show a desolated retail sector. Many shops have gone or will go. Yet this is the tip of the iceberg. Small businesses up and down the UK are in danger. Due to the pandemic, at least one in seven small firms, a massive 906,000 businesses could go bankrupt by April unless they receive additional support. This would leave 2.5 million people without a job and have a catastrophic impact on our communities. Furthermore, we know small businesses are the major factors in our economic growth and well-being and that includes paying tax which funds the government's expenditure.
