🍽️ SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY 🍽️
In just 24 hours, 70,000 people have already signed Tom Kerridge’s “VAT Is The Problem” petition and the number is continuing to grow. 🙌
The campaign is calling for hospitality VAT to be reduced from 20% to 10%, helping restaurants, cafés, pubs and other hospitality businesses keep more of what they earn to invest in staff, wages, training, improvements and their future.
This isn’t just about us. It’s about every independent café, restaurant, coffee shop, pub and hospitality venue that helps make Rugby such a fantastic place to live, work and visit. ❤️
Hospitality businesses are at the heart of our communities. They create jobs, support local suppliers, bring people together and help keep our high streets thriving. A lower VAT rate could make a real difference to businesses across the town and give Rugby an even better chance to grow and thrive.
If you’d like to support the campaign, we’d be incredibly grateful if you could sign the petition and share it with friends and family. Every signature helps show how much local hospitality matters.
Together, we can make our voices heard. 📢
