This is an extremely difficult time for everyone in our community but especially those who run or work for small businesses.

I welcome the actions the government has taken so far to help small businesses and will continue to push for more support for self-employed people.

I know lots of people across Leicester will want to support our brilliant local businesses, whilst following the government’s instructions to stay at home.

Many of our fantastic local restaurants, cafes and pubs are adapting to the situation by offering new delivery services.

You can find a list of food and drink businesses now offering delivery here.
