Welcome to the March edition of In Your Vicinity 

At the time of writing it is continually raining, this has to be the wettest winter time, lots of areas locally are affected with the burst riverbanks, and just continual flooding. Many roads have been impassable on a regular basis, homes are flooded, building and construction sites cannot work. On the positive side as we come towards the end of February and you can probably count on one hand how many times the car has been iced over in the mornings.

Mothers’ Day is just around the corner on Sunday March 10th – just make sure you take some time to take mum out for dinner, or buy her some flowers or chocolates, cook her dinner, or even just a simple visit or a phone call will mean so much to them.

The clocks go forward at the end of the month – yes, we can already see the lighter mornings, and even bulbs are starting to bloom early. Lighter nights mean we can look forward to getting out in the garden and doing the outside jobs we put off in the winter. The Six Nations comes to a conclusion, and at present it looks likely the title is heading again to Ireland. The biggest horse racing event begins for a week of Cheltenham, all the very best jumps horses from the UK and Ireland go to try and beat the very best. The Rugby League Super League has just started with it looking a very competitive and tight season.

Many businesses are reporting a slow start to 2024, construction and building appears to be slow and this kicks onto many other sectors. Hospitality is really struggling and relying on take-outs more than eat-in’s, pubs are having to increase prices, yet are seeing a decline on footfall. It was reported this month that 80 pubs per week are closing up and down the country. If your business needs help then please consider contacting us to see if we can help you gain more business.
