The leader of the Liberal Democrats, Sir Ed Davey, has emphasized the pivotal role of the tourism sector in many communities across the South West. He has warned that the ongoing cost of living crisis has significantly reduced footfall and caused basic operational expenses to skyrocket.
In a bold move to draw attention to the issue, Sir Ed Davey recently climbed aboard a rollercoaster at a Devon theme park, indicating the urgency of government action to address tax hikes and escalating costs, as reported by DevonLive.
