Julian Smith MP visits local businesses as lockdown restrictions ease

July 3rd Julian Smith MP spent the afternoon visiting local small businesses in Skipton. He visited a number of local businesses along the high street which have re-opened after the outbreak of coronavirus, and are now welcoming customers whilst implementing safe, social distancing measures. The businesses he visited included local cafe Bean Loved, The Wright Wine Co and Sarsaparilla’s sweet shop. As lockdown restrictions continue to ease, Julian would like to encourage all his constituents to continue to support local businesses, safely.
