Bradley is urging the Government to support hospitality businesses in the Budget next month.

It follows a visit to Dick’s Smokehouse in Aston Fields last Friday (October 24th) where the local MP met with restaurant owner, Richard Wainman, to discuss the challenges facing the hospitality sector.

Ever since he was first elected, Bradley has supported hospitality businesses with his Small Business Awards. He also voted against the Government’s huge hike in employers’ National Insurance contributions.

Bradley said:

“If you want an authentic American food experience, then get down to Dick's Smokehouse in Aston Fields! And what's even better is that you'll be supporting a local, independent business.

“Hospitality businesses need our support now more than ever. The Government must recognise this in its Budget next month and announce policies that will support the risk takers and not punish them as the Government did last year.

“To revive our high streets, the next Conservative government will abolish business rates for thousands of retail, hospitality and leisure businesses - something I've been fighting for ever since I was first elected.”
