'Southport roadworks have forced me to shut my pub'
A landlady has said she has been forced to temporarily close her pub due to ongoing roadworks which have caused a 75% drop in Goodwin, owner of Connolly's Irish Pub in Southport, said works to pedestrianise part of the town which began in January had left the area "like a demolition site for months" which had been "financially disastrous" for her business."Nobody's walking down here, there's no footfall, tourists are not going to come here it's just terrible," she Council said the authority had worked closely with the business on King Street and "worked hard to minimise disruption". The works are part of plans to regenerate and pedestrianise the area around Market Street and King Street in the town but local businesses said they were taking too long, pedestrian routes through the works were confusing and footfall was down dramatically."It's just chaos around here," she said."There's dust, it's noisy. We've had lovely weather recently and nobody wants to sit on a building site."She said takings were down 75% month on month since the roadworks began."Financially it's been disastrous for us, it looks like a demolition zone," she said. Her frustrations were echoed by other business owners in the Jones, owner of The Plant Room on Market Street, estimated footfall was down 70% and said she had been forced to take on a second job in the evenings to make ends meet."I'm just about hanging on in there by a thread," she said."I'm having to work in the evenings to cover the rent on the shop now which I never had to do before."I will do whatever it takes whilst this works going on and to keep my business afloat," she said. Crystals and Crowns owner Rosie Coates said while local businesses had been consulted on the pedestrianisation they did not expect such prolonged disruption."They didn't mention how long it was going to take or that they were going to do all the roads at the same time," Ms Coates said."Since January it's just been chaos. I am approximately 70% down on my takings. "People don't want to walk around a building site and I don't blame them." Sefton Council said the authority had worked closely with the businesses including redesigning the planned new pavement area outside premises to provide more space for outdoor seating. "We will continue to review the phasing, the signage and consider any options to support businesses during the project," a representative said.

Their ready meal range will now include new world flavours, featuring a collaboration with Yo Sushi. Shoppers can enjoy a new £6 meal deal, a three-for-£5 fresh fruit offer, a pick 'n' mix bakery, and a tiered pizza deal. The major retailer is also introducing branded toys, with BrewDog, Coca-Cola, Pepsi and Myprotein features. Despite the major changes, shoppers were concerned after the supermarket giant announced plans to shut 72 fresh meat and fish counters, 52 cafés, 17 convenience stores, and 13 florists in a bid to cut costs. Morrisons revealed it will shut all 18 of its Market Kitchen grocery/takeaway fusion sites - first launched at its Canning Town store in 2019. Vodka to the Rescue: Morrisons' Unconventional Emergency Tactics It comes after the supermarket giant has made a huge change to its loyalty scheme and shoppers can now earn EXTRA points towards their purchases. Morrisons shoppers can now earn More Points even when they're not shopping at the supermarket– thanks to a brand-new perk launching this week. From today, Morrisons More Card holders can collect points with over 300 popular brands including eBay, Just Eat, Expedia, Asos, Very, and loads more. The Morrisons More Card already enables shoppers to bank points on selected products by scanning their More Card or app. Once 5,000 More Points are collected, shoppers will be handed a £5 voucher – better known as a Morrisons Fiver – to redeem on their next shop in store or online. Previously, shoppers could only get the points by buying items from the supermarket only. However, the change now means that customers can now bag rewards on everything from takeaways and clothes to gadgets and holidays. To get the points, customers need to sign in to the Morrisons More app or website, browse the full list of partner retailers, click through to their chosen brand and shop as usual. As long as the purchase is made through the Morrisons site or app, the points are tracked and added automatically. This new way to earn is digital-only, so points can only be collected on external purchases made through the app or website – not by shopping directly with the brand. The latest shake-up comes as part of Morrisons' push to reward loyal customers and make it quicker and easier to earn money off future shops.
