Licensed Victuallers Association predicts difficult January for sector
December has been described as 'catastrophic' for the Isle of Man's pub and restaurant trade.
The Licensed Victuallers Association is hoping to meet with government to discuss the challenges facing the industries.
Numerous venues faced staff shortages or cancellations due to Covid-19.
Chair Geoff Joughin says he has big concerns for some premises going into the New Year:
Planning application for onshore wind farm still being developed
Motorcyclist suffered fatal chest injuries in crash
Trial for trio accused of producing Class A drugs to Island
Too early for 'direct action' over cost-of-living concerns says chief minister
