Small businesses are vital to the recovery of our economy.

During the Covid-19 restrictions, business owners have shown initiative, hard work and resilience to keep afloat.

But many have been hit hard.

Lack of clarity about just how heavy the toll of the restrictions have been on individual businesses and their ability to quickly rebound adds to the uncertainty of the national economic recovery.

Therefore, Prosper is launching a survey targeted at finding out the scale of Covid-19's impact.

You can take that survey right now – it will only take a few minutes.

Both in good order and both went well last time used.
The stereo is an oldie with tape deck and CD with tuner.
Two speakers. It's not very big and will fit in a bedroom/study where I had it.
The PC I think is an HP loaded with Windows XP from memory and Word Seven or 13 - ready to go. It has stacks of storage and a reasonable sized memory- from memory. Send me a message or phone 3560043.

In the next instalment of our tour we present the Strang room, named after the second owners of the house, the Strang family.

It used to be three separate rooms: the kitchen, pantry and scullery and underneath lies a small cellar, now sealed and unaccessible.
