SUPPORT LOCAL

It's clear local hospitality operators are struggling so why not try and support them? This doesn't always have to mean going out and having a coffee in a public place, which is a risk given the rising Covid-19 Omicron numbers. But see if you can order takeaway drink and food or perhaps buy a voucher for future use.
