Tourism minister Nigel Huddleston has urged a council in his constituency to "look favourably" on agencies when it comes to allocating Additional Restrictions Grant (ARG) cash.

Huddleston visited Grapevine Travel on Saturday (22 January)

The Mid Worcestershire MP visited Droitwich-based Grapevine Travel last Saturday (22 January) to discuss the issues facing high street travel retailers and the wider travel industry.

Grapevine managing director Rod Gethins told TTG that during the visit, Huddleston highlighted how he had "specifically requested" the agency’s local authority – Wychavon District Council – to "look favourably" on the ARG money made available to travel companies.
