I'm not so sure they'd need that much more staff. The Railway is a pretty big pub with its garden and they do shitloads of food every day on top of the drinks. They've worked out a pretty efficient service although the 10pn close is going to lose them a lot of custom and staff are going to have to be laid off in some numbers now.
Sorry to hear this. There was the one in Somerleyton Road but the info is not up to date on Lambeth's useless site

I had a coffee at San Marino and ended up only taking my mask down for each sup of coffee as it seemed too busy and confined. No chance of that at Pret though as they've gone to the other extreme and only have two seats for the entire premises!

How are you accessing those details? I just get a single page of Excel and acres of empty scrolling. Did Pop Brixton manage to bag more money for themselves?Local businesses Hootannany, Off the Cuff and the Columbo group are some of the beneficiaries of the government's Culture Recovery Fund
Culture Recovery Fund: Data
We’re investing in venues, theatres, museums and cultural organisations across England through Government’s Culture Recovery Fund.
How the fuck does a terminally loss making, rent free venue centred around food and booze bag a £24k 'grassroots live music' grant and now another £220k?
Those management charges don’t just pay themselves you know
If you're on a Windows-based system can't you do alt-Print-Screen on the offeding part, then paste into "Paint" or similar prgramme. The save as jpg. Just a suggestion - I do it on here all the time.
Yeah, I got it. Couldn't save in protected mode though - presumably my PC has saved an unprotected copy.

Loss-making Pop Brixton receives another financial lifeline from government’s Culture Recovery Fund
Once again, loss making Pop Brixton seems to be in the front of the queue when it comes to tax payer funded hand outs. Pop Brixton has just received a £220,385 grant from the first round of the gov…
While London is currently in Tier 1, it is likely that the capital will be placed in a higher tier in the coming days. I am supportive of this, as are many other London council leaders and the Mayor of London. This is because the infection rate, hospitalisations and the spread of the virus continue to increase significantly. In Lambeth, the recorded current rate of infections is 87.3 people per 100,000 people. This has more than doubled in the last couple of weeks and while some London boroughs have much higher rates, all London boroughs are seeing significant increases and the real number could be higher as we know over the last month people have had difficulties getting a test. On track and trace we have given up hope the government will bring about a “world beating” system, we are arguing for them to give local councils in London the money and responsibility as we are more confident of delivering a system that works. Without that in place now, nationally we are in danger of losing control of the spread of the virus. That’s why I am joining London Mayor Sadiq Khan and other leaders across local government in calling for a ‘circuit breaker’ short term lockdown to get back control of the virus and to prevent the NHS from being overwhelmed. If we don’t I fear that significant numbers of people will lose their lives and we will face many more months of economic and health challenges. As I and other leaders urge government to take this step, it is critical that at the same time the Government provide a support package for local businesses, more resources for communication and enforcement and the ability for Lambeth Council to take over the contact tracing programme locally to help correct the failings we have seen with the national system. We have been successful in some of our lobbying, with the government introducing self isolation payments of £500 for those who are required to self-isolate, cannot work from home and are already in receipt of benefits like Universal credit or housing benefit. But we need a return to the furlough scheme for areas with greater restrictions, full funding for localised test and trace, more support for businesses and more resources to fund interventions like mental health support which are crucial when so many are struggling with the impact of the virus and the lockdown. It isn’t easy to call for additional restrictions, and none of us want to stop seeing our families and our friends. But action now can help to slow the spread of the virus and ensure we don’t face many more months of restrictions that impact our lives while at the same time not reducing cases of Covid-19. The government’s own scientific advice is clear, as is our local public health advice and I will continue to fight for the best possible outcome and support for Lambeth and you, our residents. Best wishes, |
Wonder what Brixton BID make of this?
