People from across the industry have been writing to their MPs to call for an extension to the furlough scheme for the sector beyond 30 September, as well as tailored financial support to see travel through what is expected to be a tough winter.
Sarah Olney, Liberal Democrat MP for Richmond Park, has written to transport secretary Grant Shapps calling for “targeted support” for the industry as a way of “relieving the industry of the immense financial pressure it’s currently struggling under”.
