Rising operating costs are hitting local shops harder than ever.
We're calling on the Chancellor to recognise the real pressures facing convenience retailers – and we need your voice behind the campaign.
Get involved below.
Ask the Chancellor to #Checkout the cost of trading for local shops. Our template email sets out the scale of rising operational costs hitting convenience retailers and the policy changes that would make a real difference. 
The template email calls on the Chancellor to:
- Ensure the business rates system supports retailers to invest and grow
- Consider the impact of rising labour and energy costs on retailers' bottom lines
- Ensure the Deposit Return Scheme is proportionate for retailers and doesn't penalise those hosting a return point
- Take a cautious approach to future rises in employment costs
