Survey launched for Eastbourne businesses on rising prices
Eastbourne MP Caroline Ansell wants to hear from local businesses about how the cost of energy and other inflationary pressures are affecting them. All survey responses will be fed back to relevant government ministers.
Mrs Ansell said: “The government has acted swiftly this week (September 20-23) with a raft of measures to help people in Eastbourne and our local businesses keep more of their money while investing in growth, reducing red tape and lowering taxes. However, these remain challenging times and my job is to lead the debate with local businesses from all sectors and do everything I can to ensure ministers understand the needs of our coastal community when it is so dependent on tourism and hospitality in particular. The survey will do this and will be a great help in making that case. I urge all businesses to take part and give me a clear picture of what they think.”
