SME Defence Access: BAE Systems says SMEs should use its supplier landing page first—no direct calls—then tailor pitches to the exact part of the supply chain, warning that “generic” approaches won’t get traction. Cost-of-Living Boost for Retail & Leisure: York attractions are among those set to benefit from the temporary VAT cut on family days out, with MPs pushing it as a direct hit to household budgets and a boost for local operators. Local Regeneration with Real Spend: Blackpool Council and MP Chris Webb pledge about £1m for South Shore improvements via the Pride in Place fund, aiming to lift neglected areas and support local businesses. Town Centre Support: Andover’s shopfront upgrade scheme has been topped up after strong demand, with grants up to £12,500 for eligible businesses and landlords. Night-Time Safety: Wrexham launches a Women’s Night Safety Charter, with venues backing zero-tolerance harassment rules. Big Business Friction: Deliveroo and an Oxford fish-and-chip shop split over commission and “fair value” pricing rules.
