Eat Out To Help Out A Huge Boost To Bradford

By Grahame Anderson

The Government’s Eat Out To Help Out scheme has proven to be a big success in Bradford with large numbers of people taking up the offer.

In fact, many establishments have decided to extend the project through September given the boost in business in the light of the pandemic.

As the brainchild of Chancellor Rishi Sunak, a large number of restaurants and eateries in the city saw them slash prices in August. As a result, business has been booming despite the ongoing dangers of coronavirus.

Government Subsidised

The Government-subsidised initiative offered half-price meals and soft drinks on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays throughout August to encourage people to return to eating out in the hope of helping out the food, drink and catering industry. Both adult and children’s meals were included, but alcohol and takeaways were not.

Discounts were applied automatically with the order, meaning vouchers weren’t necessary. Businesses have been able to claim back the costs from the Government, refunded within five working days.

For example, a meal out for one costing £20 would be reduced to £10. A £25 meal however, would be cut  to £15 because of the £10 cap per person.

Bradford Conclusions

The manager of Café Jinnah on Leeds Road told me: “We’d like to thank the Government for helping out business, because the scheme has really put us back on the map.

“Business has been booming though it might have been better to run the scheme for seven days as opposed to just three. It would have taken a little pressure off the staff.

“Considering the pandemic is ongoing we were amazed at the high take up to be honest. It ‘d be great if they opened up the scheme again in October of November. All in all we’ve been very pleased as people love their food in Bradford.”

A spokesperson for the Babtooma Syrian restaurant nearby largely agreed with those sentiments saying: “The first day was a bit chaotic and the staff went home drained, but once we prepared going forward it was great to see the boost in business.

“We’ve had people from right across the age groups coming in and it seems to have lifted people’s spirits as well. As far as we are concerned it’s been a big a success and we’d love to to see the Government extend the scheme.”

Bradford of course is famed for its eating houses with Leeds Road, in Bradford East a very popular place for curry houses. Great Horton Road, in Bradford West, is also extremely popular with Shimlas Indian restaurant high on the list. And while they thanked the Government for the gesture they have mixed feelings on whether it’s been a huge success. They told me: “In truth, we’ve been incredibly busy during the week, but then customers have dropped off at weekends. So actually, it’s just balanced itself out.

“If this had been one day a week that would have been fine, but the pressure on our staff has been enormous at times. If this were to be extended we’d probably only agree if the days were cut down. There was nothing wrong with the idea, but we didn’t get much extra information from the Government.

Fascinating Figures

  • In Bradford East the total number of registered restaurants was 74 with 129,000 meals claimed for.
  • In Bradford South 37 establishments signed up to the scheme with 250,000 meals being claimed.
  • In Bradford West 164 eateries took part with a whopping 1,418,000 meals claimed.

Asian Sunday has learned there seems to be no direct correlation between the different areas of the city in terms of the figures or help. It seems to be all down to the numbers of eateries who registered with the scheme. We’ve contacted all three MPs for comment.

UK wide, On 31 August – the final day of the scheme – bookings were up 216 per cent compared to the same day in 2019.  More than 100 million meals have been claimed for in the drive to protect 1.8 million jobs in hospitality.

Appreciative Chancellor

Chancellor Rishi Sunak said: “From the get-go our mission has been to protect jobs- and to do this we needed be creative, brave and try things that no government has ever done before.

“Figures continue to show Eat Out to Help Out has been a success. I want to thank everyone, from restaurant owners to waiters, chefs and diners, for embracing it and helping drive our economic recovery.

“The scheme is just one part of our Plan for Jobs and we will continue to protect, support and create jobs to ensure we come back stronger as a nation.”

Other measures announced to protect, support and create jobs include cutting VAT for tourism and hospitality by 15 per cent, a £2billion Kickstart Scheme, which opened for applications this week, and an £8.8 billion investment in new infrastructure, decarbonisation and maintenance projects.

Bradford Council Forecast to Overspend by £18m

Bradford Council Forecast to Overspend by £18m

Bradford Council could overspend by an estimated £18 million this financial year largely due to the impact of the Coronavirus pandemic.

A high number of additional costs have grown due to the council’s response to the COVID-19 outbreak, which was not anticipated when the initial 2021-21 budget was set in February.

There has also been a significant loss of income from the closure of Bradford Council services across the district including leisure centres, theatres, museums and galleries. Further demand for social care and domestic violence support services for disadvantaged children and families has also grown in the district as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and led to further spending.

The central Government has already provided critical financial support for local councils across the UK. But Bradford Council, in addition to other local authorities, are calling for further government support to help the COVID-19 response and to support the council in meeting the unexpected financial shortfall brought on by the Coronavirus.

Additional financial backing would also help the council to achieve its future plans to develop the city, which includes investment in the regeneration of the city centre, transport improvements, a cleaner environment, funding for child support services and Bradford’s City of Culture bid.

Cllr Susan Hinchcliffe, Leader of Bradford Council, said: “Even before the COVID crisis, the Local Government Association had identified that local services in England faced an overall funding gap of almost £6.5 billion by 2025 having lost almost £15 billion in central government funding.  The extra pressures added by COVID and our critical role as an authority in responding to this have hampered our efforts towards delivering a balanced budget.

“We strongly believe that a failure to provide the investment local authorities need would not only hinder our ambitions for the Bradford district but would be a false economy in causing greater costs down the line.

“We are calling on the Government to work with us to deliver on the crucial levelling-up agenda by providing a sufficiency and certainty of funding which currently does not exist.

“Without it, we put at risk the life chances of a generation and we put at risk our ambitions to unlock the great potential of the district and its key place at the heart of the North.”

1 in 5 BAME Entrepreneurs Receive Government Loan

20% of government loans, which have helped 75,000 Start-Up businesses across the UK, have been issued to BAME entrepreneurs.

The Start-Up Loans programme, backed by the Government led British Business Bank, provides financial support to businesses who may struggle to receive a commercial bank loan.

Of the 20% of BAME recipients, 23% are from Asian ethnic backgrounds, while 29% are from mixed ethnicity groups.

Regional breakdowns also show how the North West of England received the highest amount of loans outside of London with over 9,000 entrepreneurs receiving around nearly £75 million in financial support to grow their business.

Nearly 40% of the applicants for the loan were female entrepreneurs, while 33% of the businesses were unemployed when they applied for the loan.

Business Secretary, Alok Sharma, explained the importance of funding to start-up businesses and outlined how 20% of BAME entrepreneurs is an important “reflection of society”

Alok Sharma said: “The Start-Up Loans programme was set up by the government-owned British Business Bank to give funding and support to entrepreneurs who might otherwise struggle to access it and to help ensure the UK’s business community is a true reflection of society.

“I am therefore pleased that almost one in five of loans awarded since 2012 have been made to support Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic entrepreneurs and their businesses.

“As we recover from Coronavirus our plan to build back better will level up every region and sector of the UK economy, backing makers, doers and innovators regardless of background.”

Kemi Badenoch, Exchequer Secretary to the Treasury, said: “Small businesses are the backbone of our economy and key to our recovery from the pandemic. That is why we’ve provided an unprecedented support package to keep them in business and protect jobs.

“But our support to small business didn’t begin with coronavirus and it will continue long after we’ve beaten it. Today our Start-Up Loans scheme has reached a milestone by providing more than 75,000 loans to our smallest businesses across a diverse range of entrepreneurs.”

The Start-Up Loans programme was formed in 2012 and support businesses in the early stages of their development to provide progressive financial support for new businesses and entrepreneurs. Around £623 million has been invested in start-up companies since the programmes were formed.

Bradford Businesses Closed After Flouting COVID Measures

Bradford Council staff continue to visit businesses in the district to ensure they are following COVID-19 guidelines

Some reports have been made of large gatherings at certain venues, while others have not been COVID-19 secure.

The Environmental Health, Public and Licensing Teams, local Wardens, Ward Officers and West Yorkshire Police have made visits to pubs, restaurants and wedding venues in Bradford to check they are following the statutory guidelines to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

1,128 visits have been made to businesses over the last 7 days and some prohibition notices were issued to businesses who have not taken the necessary steps to ensure customer or employee safety.

A prohibition notice can result in the closure of a venue until they have taken the necessary health and safety steps to ensure they are COVID-19 secure.

Businesses are being asked to show they have completed a COVID-19 risk assessment and that safety measures are being taken to control the spread of the virus.

Businesses that have not been able to work within the current guidelines will be given advice by the visiting team and further visits to the premises will be made to ensure the steps to ensure customer and staff safety has been taken.

Cllr Sarah Ferriby, Bradford Council’s Executive Member for Healthy People and Places said: “The aim is to help businesses operate within the guidelines.

“If however, we hear that they have disregarded the guidance and are flouting the law we will have no option but to take enforcement action.

“Coronavirus is still here and infection rates are rising across the district. Businesses have to play their part in helping to prevent the virus from spreading further by adhering to the guidelines.

“Members of the public can also help by wearing face coverings when required and ensuring they stay 2m apart when queuing outside businesses – otherwise they are putting themselves at risk unnecessarily.”

Anyone wishing to report non-compliance can do so by visiting www.bradford.gov.uk/health/health-advice-and-support/coronavirus-covid-19-advice/

Darlington Businesses Receive £25m from UK Government

Over 2,000 businesses in Darlington have been provided with nearly £25 million from UK Government to support them in the current COVID-19 pandemic.

The funding is part of a range of schemes set up to help businesses survive following difficulties in trading during the lockdown period.

Darlington Borough Council has been administering the grants and loans over the past few weeks in an attempt to fast-track deadlines for those businesses who most require the support.

Grants have been provided in two sections with small businesses, retail, hospitality and leisure businesses receiving nearly £24 million, while a further £1 million will be put towards discretionary grants.

The Leader of Darlington Borough Council, Councillor Heather Scott, said: “These have been incredibly challenging times for business locally and nationally, with little or no revenue coming in and bills to pay. Thankfully, through these grants from central government, we have been able to offer a lifeline to help local businesses survive.

“Time was of the essence in dealing with this situation. We had to make sure that grants reached businesses quickly before it was too late. Recognition must go to the dedicated teams of council staff who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure these grants were administered and distributed in what must be record time.”

Continued help and support are available through the council’s business support team. They can be contacted by email at business.support@darlington.gov.uk

Kirklees Council Engage Businesses Over Changes in Huddersfield

Kirklees Council Engage Businesses Over Changes in Huddersfield

Kirklees Council will continue to engage with local businesses over proposed improvements to Huddersfield Town Centre despite previous objections to the plans.

The improvements to Huddersfield Town Centre, outlined in a recent blueprint, will include more routes for walking and cycling.

Kirklees Cabinet Committee for Local Issues approved the Traffic Regulation Orders to provide a safe route for cyclists and pedestrians on Queen Street, Cross Church Street and King Street meaning work can continue here.

However, local businesses have objected to the plans as the changes could lead to restricted access to their buildings while there were further concerns raised over the use of disabled parking in the town centre being affected by restrictions to off-street parking.

Kirklees Council sought to address the concerns of local businesses by outlining an Authorised User Policy, which would allow businesses to apply for access and by offering to waive any restrictions for business owners who own a blue badge to allow for more accessible parking.

Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) could also be implemented for business owners to gain access to the areas restricted to vehicles.

The work, due to be complete in summer 2021, will prevent unauthorised traffic from cars and other vehicles in certain areas of the town centre.

Cllr Cathy Scott, Kirklees Council Cabinet Member, said: “We need to remember that our town centres are evolving and the way we have done things in the past is likely to be very different in the future.

“Introducing the restrictions and the development of an authorised user scheme are key steps that enable the scheme to be delivered in line with our objectives for the area, our town centre and the Huddersfield Blueprint.

“Cross Church Street connects the Cultural Heart to the retail centre and as such needs to reflect the town in the best possible light.

“We hope that by addressing the issues raised in the objections we can move forward with the development for the benefit of everyone using the town. However, our officers will continue to be available to discuss individual business concerns whilst the scheme progresses.

“The council remains committed to working with the local business community to make Huddersfield a welcoming and accessible town in order to support the local economy and provide opportunities for culture, leisure and retail for people who visit, live or work in the town centre.”

The improvements to Huddersfield Town Centre are being delivered through the West Yorkshire Combined Authority’s CityConnect programme, which is aimed at enabling more people to travel by bike or on foot, in partnership with Kirklees Council.

COLUMN: Covid-19 and Dentistry.

By SANAA KADER

Where are we now?

As a dentist practising from Leeds, my day to day job can be summarised as a problem solver, with much of my work dealing with patients in severe pain, who are in dire need of dental intervention.

So, I am used to adapting to emergency situations, however with Covid-19 life has somewhat been more than challenging.

As per reports the coronavirus was first detected in the UK on 31 January 2020 and since 23 March the UK government forced a lockdown so that they could deal with the pandemic.

We took instructions from the Chief Dental Officer who informed us to cease any face to face treatment from 25 March, and only conduct telephone triage, and offer advice, analgesics or painkillers, and antibiotics if it was necessary.

This was a huge challenge for the dental profession, especially as it made us helpless in helping our patients who really needed dental treatment and but all I could do was prescribe painkillers instead. It was heart-breaking not being able to help and seeing our patients struggle.

Thankfully on June 8, we were able to re-open our practices and are now able to see patients with dental emergencies, and help them, as well as continuing with the telephone and video appointments which we had started in March.

We are all continuing to work to our previously already high standards of cross infection control, but have also added additional measure, some of which you may see on your next visit to the dentist, including but not limited to:

  • Perspex screens at the reception
  • Contactless and card payments only
  • Contactless temperature checks upon arrival
  • Hand sanitisation upon arrival
  • Enhanced PPE to include full face visors, respirator masks which are fit tested, full sleeve gowns and plastic aprons, shoe and head covers.
  • Social distancing in waiting room, or even being asked to wait in the car beforehand
  • All paperwork sent out beforehand to you via e-mail to complete before the appointment
  • Use of a runner nurse, to allow the flow of non-treatment areas to treatment areas in the practice to be run effectively
  • Telephone triage before the appointment itself asking you about any Covid-19 symptoms

As you can see, a dental practice is probably one of the safest places you can visit at the moment, due to all the enhanced precautions we are taking, on top of everything we were already doing before COVID!

Until the risk of COVID19 is not announced to be lower by the government, you may find that it is difficult to get an appointment with your dentist unless you are experiencing severe pain or have an essential issue with your dental health.

Once we get the go ahead from the government and the Chief Dental Officer, we will be able to resume routine dentistry and treat all our patients who are waiting for treatments to be completed, or who need to see a dentist for other issues.

In the meantime, we would recommend all to maintain good dental habits at home. It is important to brush your teeth twice daily for a minimum of two minutes with a toothpaste that contains fluoride.

During lockdown it’s so easy to snack more often but it is best to avoid sugary snacks between meals, as this can increase the chances of tooth decay.

More useful tips can be found by visiting our blog at: https://indigodental.co.uk/dentist-leeds/managing-dental-problems-during-the-covid-19-pandemic/

If you can’t find what you are looking for and would like to discuss your dental concerns with us, please call on 01132632960, or send an e-mail to reception@indigodental.co.uk

In the meantime, stay safe and keep smiling.

Bradford Beauty salon owner left distressed as Beauty home trade has boosted, while law abiding salons like hers are losing out.

Bradford Beauty salon owner left distressed as Beauty home trade has boosted, while law abiding salons like hers are losing out.

By GRAHAME ANDERSON

A Bradford based beauty salon owner is gravely concerned about the future of her business following the latest restrictive COVID-19 measures.

Award winning Prity, in the Legrams Lane area of the city offers locals a high-end spa, hair and beauty service.

Successful since opening in 2005 and employing a team of professional therapists, the business has been extremely popular in the area, until lockdown kicked in back in March. In fact, the attractive premises have been closed down to clientelle since then.

Prity’s main business has come through eyebrow threading and treatments such as botox and fillers – but with the Government preventing such face treatments until a potentially mid-August, vital potential income continues to be lost. They’d previously announced services like these could start from the first of the month, rising rates of Covid however, have prevented this from happening.

The original grant of £10K owner, Prity Farooq received from the treasury in line with many other businesses was enough to cover four weeks expenses and to add the additional investment for Covid training, signage, sanitisation, masks and shields in place across the salon. Now closed for more than four months Prity is worried the business will really start to struggle, given the furlough scheme is set to end soon.

Team Prity, Covid trained and ready for business

It also seems some customers have been in touch so desperate for treatment saying they’d like a certain treatment, but they wouldn’t tell anyone if coronavirus guidelines weren’t met in full. Prity has been refusing all treatments, telling her customers that her business would be sticking with full government guidelines to keep everyone safe,  and as a result her regulars have been taking their business elsewhere in the form of those beauticians working from home.

Asian Sunday has investigated and found that beauty therapists advertising themselves on social media, have been offering treatments from home and customers who have body confidence issues have been so desperate that they have been using at home beauticians to get their facial treatments such as threading.

Prity told Asian Sunday: “They have been getting treatments done from beauticians working from home. The home trade has boosted while law abiding salons like mine are losing out.

“These beauticians working from home are not following guidelines – who knows what hygiene is like and they are breaking the law, but making a fortune due to businesses like mine not being allowed to trade

“The Government has thought about the restaurant industry and introduced the Eat out to help scheme for them but forgotten about the beauty industry.

“Beauty for many isn’t just a luxury, but can also help with confidence boosting, mental health and with the current climate this is needed on a far greater level.”

To make matters worse, Prity has missed out on two very busy trading periods involving Eid celebrations in both June and July due to the regulations.

Prity, outside her closed business

Ninety per cent of employees within the beauty sector are women – the majority of customers at beauty salons are women.

It is estimated 60 per cent of beauticians and hairdressers are self-employed, and some will be struggling to make it through this difficult period.

It’s also a fact beauty salons are vital to the economy bringing in more than £28million each year. Sadly, it seems some will be unable to make up the lost ground suffered during the lockdowns.

While the PM has acknowledged beauticians “feel a sense of unfairness when they look at hairdressers reopening”, he has insisted nail bars, beauty salons and spas must stay closed until “they can operate in a Covid-secure way”.

Asian Sunday contacted the cabinet office and The Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy – but no response has been received.

Federation of Small Businesses national chairman Mike Cherry said: “What we absolutely have to avoid is a scenario where whole swathes of the small business community – not least those in the creative industries, tourism and leisure sectors – are wiped out entirely.”

Brow specialist Liarna Jessica Yearwood, director of Liarna Jessica London, says her company has not received any support from the Government because she uses a shared space and is therefore not eligible for any grants. She added: “We have not had any income since 23 March, but we still have ongoing business expenses to pay out. There is a real risk that we may not survive if we do not start working very soon.”

Batley and Spen MP Tracy Brabin, also shares concerns for the lack of Government support for the beauty industry. She actively got on a virtual call with local businesses in her area to learn more about the impacts. Ms Brabin said: “the Prime Minister’s dismissal of the beauty industry as nail bars and keeping them closed has left this female dominated industry guessing about support and when they can open. There is also a strong feeling of unfairness in that salons cannot perform facial treatments with PPE while barbers when trimming beards don’t require any protection.”

On the call there was a wide range of businesses: from start-up businesses hiring a chair in a salon to an internationally renowned training academy. All who were on the call agreed – the government has shown no understanding of the industry and the economic impact it has, with 600,000 jobs and approximately £7bn in tax revenue.

 

Tracy noted that “whilst the government needed to take action once the R rate started increasing, the haphazard way that the restrictions were communicated, with late night announcements on Social Media, have only added to the uncertainty in this industry.”

Tracy has written to the Secretary of State for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy calling for more support to be given to businesses in the Beauty industry stating “With 80% of those working in the beauty industry saying they have felt unsupported throughout COVID-19, this would be an invaluable opportunity for the Government to rebuild some of the trust that has been lost.”

In the meantime, Prity and many beauty other salons across the country hope to open on Saturday 15 August. The question is though, will they be able to cover for lost business?

 

 

Music Warning for Newcastle Venues Over COVID Concerns

Music Warning for Newcastle Venues Over COVID Concerns

Newcastle Council will warn local bars, pubs and restaurants about the risk of spreading COVID-19 by playing loud music in venues.

Government advice currently allows hospitality venues to play recorded, background music so people don’t have to raise their voices or move closer to communicate whilst social distancing. This includes limiting noise from TVs when broadcasting sports events.

Following the re-opening of bars, pubs and restaurants in the city last month, some venues have continued to play music at a high volume similar to pre-lockdown levels.

Newcastle City Council will now visit landlords and ask them to turn their music down to a suitable level to ensure customer safety and to adhere to government guidelines.

Public safety and regulation manager Ed Foster said: “Throughout the pandemic, we have been working with businesses and offering advice to help them reopen safely, and I am pleased to say that as a result, we have had few problems so far.

“Within that has been guidance on noise, be that recorded music or sporting events on the TV – both of which must be kept at a low volume – or live music – which for now remains prohibited.

“We appreciate that playing music can add to the atmosphere of pubs, restaurants and cafes, and we are by no means trying to be killjoys by saying turn it off, but under the current circumstances we need licensees to be mindful of how forcing people into close proximity or making them shout over background noise is an unnecessary risk.

“We have had reports and ourselves observed instances of bars playing louder music in an attempt to add to the vibrancy of their offer, but we must speak to those involved and, along with everyone in the hospitality trade, remind them of their responsibilities to keep ambient sounds to a sensible level and help prevent the spread of Covid-19.”

Information to support businesses to reopen and to work safely can be found on the Newcastle City Council website at www.newcastle.gov.uk/ournewcastlerecovery

COLUMN: Bradford Accountant Ramen Kaur shares how her firm has been helping businesses during Covid-19

I started my journey as an accountant in September 2001 and after gaining experience from leading accountancy firms, chose to establish my own practice – Core Chartered Accountants in October 2011 and I have never looked back.

I am passionate and take immense pride in helping companies grow and be financially strong. At Core Accountants our aim is to deliver tailor made accountancy services for all types of businesses. Whether we are dealing with a window cleaner, restaurant or a design company our services see that they have the support to succeed in business.

Our services are needed now more than ever with the Covid-19 pandemic and I am pleased we’ve been able to assist our existing clients and even helped new clients with various types of support. This has included support with the Furlough scheme to Self-employment Income Support Scheme (SEISS), helping with business plans for those companies applying for the government loans, helping with company restructure to manage finances in current testing times and so much more.

There’s no doubt that the recent events call for extra support amongst business owners that keep the economy going and employ staff. We have provided additional support without charge to clients and other businesses.

I recall initially when the pandemic hit, a family run cafe was being impacted like many others, with the government announcing on 16 March 2020, their recommendations that groups of people should not go to restaurants, pubs, clubs or crowded places for that matter. This café was of particular concern as it had only been trading for a year. The café continued to trade until full lockdown was imposed on 23 March. The owner contacted me in complete panic as they were incurring costs every day and were unsure of what they were supposed to do, especially as they had worked so hard to drum up business in their first year, and despite their busiest period Mother’s Day being around the corner, business had dropped over night. I instantly got in touch with Bradford Council on 27 March to enquire about the help businesses will get and how soon they would get it. I could see that the closure of such businesses was imminent. It was difficult for a start up to generate business via take outs as they didn’t have the loyalty and accumulated customer base. The first of government help was the Business rates relief grant and I was relieved that businesses with high fixed costs like the café would be able to cover their costs. Then along came the other schemes. However, the difficult part was the timing from the government on delivery of these schemes which resulted in cash flow concerns, nevertheless, the café got through it with help and support in managing their costs. In a situation like this cash flow is already a concern for any business particularly if you are a start-up.

My team and I are passionate about helping other businesses succeed in what they do best and our aim is to save them time and money by taking away the stress of managing the financial legal burdens, saving tax within tax legislation and to provide ongoing support for the ever changing climate that businesses face.

Core Chartered Accountants understand that businesses also have to adapt to survive in the current climate and no business stays the same especially in the volatile times that we are living in.

If you are a business and need some help, then there is good news, as we are offering a free consultation to discuss the efficiency of businesses in terms of your record keeping processes, costs, structure, cash flow and any eligibility to grant assistance during Covid-19.

We understand that maintaining your cash flow is a key concern, therefore we aim to provide a fixed fee quote for accountancy services so that you can plan your budget for the year that lies ahead. Please feel free to contact me on 07961880291 or email me at ramen@ coreaccountants.com to arrange an appointment or even a video call.

In the meantime, stay safe, stay well and stay strong.
