Alright. I’ve finally gone over the edge. I’ve succumbed. Lockdown has done me in.

Kathleen McBride, managing director of Belfast Improvement District (BID) Belfast One, has a big task on her hands to ensure the organisation wins a second term.

Hairdressing chain Peter Mark has said it will not reopen its Belfast city centre salon following lockdown after its lease ran out. Long periods of closure have also taken their toll on the industry with salons shuttered for most of last year following the first shutdown at the end of March.

I had mostly tuned out the chatter around it by the time it actually happened, which I think is forgivable, given how drawn-out and frustrating the whole thing was. Now though, it’s happened.
