Rishi Sunak £500 Voucher Scheme.. no more?

A general view of signs and shoppers on Oxford Street

Rishi Sunak announced in his summer budget statement, that he will be rolling out a scheme to help bring customers in to restaurants. The "Eat Out to Help Out" Scheme.

This will be a government-led incentive whereby customers will receive 50% off of meals, up to a value of £10 per person, to dine out Monday-Wednesday.

However, there was no mention of his much-speculated £500 voucher scheme, that would have provided £500 to adults and £250 to children nation wide, to be spent in a large number of retailers.

Retail sales BOUNCE back to almost pre-corona levels

Non-food retail sectors are finally showing pre-corona sales levels, with the Office for National Statistics estimating a near 14% increase in Juny 2020! After record declines in March and April, there has been a promising two months of strong growth. Unsurprisingly, the online growth of retail has been far higher. Online grocery sales are up by 5.3% compared to the beginning of the pandemic, and non grocery sales are up by 53.6%. Although this news is extremely positive, over all retail sales have fallen 15% on pre-pandemic levels. Still, the only way is up! Retail is on the up!
