Publican Dawn Hopkins will miss out on revenue from Euro 2020 fans and party bookings due to Covid rules staying in place
Dawn Hopkins, who runs the Rose Inn in Norwich, had been looking forward to 21 June. That is until Boris Johnson announced a four-week delay to the lifting of final coronavirus restrictions on Monday.
“When the PM first announced the roadmap and June 21 was talked about, I did cry,” she said. “It just felt like we had some chance of getting back to normality, not just the trade but personally. We’ve been looking forward to it,” said Hopkins, adding that a delay was “very depressing”.
