Budget has 'betrayed' local bike shops, says British retailer association

Bike shopping.

The UK budget announcement represents a "betrayal" for independent bike shops, the CEO of the British Independent Retailers Association (Bira) has said.

Speaking on Wednesday afternoon, after the Chancellor, Rachel Reeves, had set out Labour's first budget since it was elected, Andrew Goodacre, Bira's CEO, said that it was the "worst budget for independent retailers" he had seen.
