AN OPEN LETTER TO HULL’S LABOUR MPs: Emma Hardy MP, Diana Johnson, Karl Turner MP
Hull’s independent businesses are bracing themselves. With the Budget weeks away and the Chancellor’s recent U-turn on VAT relief, anxiety across the city’s cafés, venues, shops and creative studios is real.
We’ve sent an open letter to Hull’s MPs because awareness isn’t enough anymore. Rising costs, high VAT, broken business rates and constant policy reversals are pushing small businesses to the edge.
We need action that gives Hull’s independents a fighting chance, both short and long term - without uncertainty.
