Businesses and shoppers in Radford have spoken out about how the cost of living continues to affect them. People have agreed that they see “no end” to current financial struggles faced.
Prime Minister, Liz Truss has introduced a new Energy Relief Scheme, saying: “I’m acting immediately so people and businesses are supported over the next two years, with a new Energy Price Guarantee, and tackling the root cause of the issues by boosting domestic energy supply." But the recent turmoil following the government's mini budget has caused more uncertainty.
In Radford, some people believe that despite the financial support the government has announced so far, many people will still struggle. Manager of the Londis store on 134-136 Hartley Road, Rohan Perera explained how he’s noticed people coming into the store and buying less.
