NORTHERN airport bosses today joined forces to call on government to back their struggling sector in its budget next week, while developing a manageable system that would enable travel to restart in May. Six northern airports, including Leeds Bradford, have written to Boris Johnson urging him to recognise the importance of aviation and travel to his levelling-up and global Britain ambitions. They are calling on the Prime Minister to provide the direct financial support needed to protect the industry until it is able to fully re-open.

Cumbria Local Enterprise Partnership (CLEP) is offering its support to help businesses to move forward from one of the most challenging financial years on record. CLEP’s role, as a business-led organisation, is to determine local economic priorities, advocate on behalf of Cumbria and to deliver activities that will support the economy and businesses to recover from the pandemic and move forward with Cumbria’s growth ambitions. The combination of the COVID-19 pandemic and the end of the EU Transition Period has meant that many businesses might welcome support in navigating the changes, going forward. “Last year was a year unlike any other. The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic was felt locally, nationally and globally, and as 2021 unfolds, the health challenges continue to have significant repercussions for the economy, businesses and jobs throughout the UK” said CLEP Chief Executive Jo Lappin.
