Communities Secretary Robert Jenrick has announced his intention to extend pavement licences for a further 12 months to help the hospitality industry recover.
Details of the announcement were included in a letter sent by Jenrick to councils urging them to do ‘everything possible’ to get ready for the reopening of the country’s high streets.

Under measures already introduced, hospitality venues will be allowed to serve people outdoors from no earlier than 12 April. Extending provisions around pavement licences – which will be subject to parliamentary approval – will make it easier and cheaper for pubs, restaurants and cafes to serve people outside.
Jenrick said: “We’re all looking forward to seeing pubs, cafes and restaurants open again as we start to gear up for what should be a great British summer. Therefore I’m delighted to announce an extension on temporary provisions for pavement licences for a further 12 months. This will give further certainty to businesses as they recover from the effects of the pandemic.
“As lockdown restrictions ease in the coming months I’m also keen to highlight the range of measures we’ve put in place to help support the safe reopening of hospitality businesses and our high streets. It’s vital we work together to do everything we can to help these businesses prosper again. That is why I’ve written to councils calling on their support to use these measures in a pragmatic way to help support the high street, businesses and jobs, once restrictions allow them to do so.”
