In April this year The BID Foundation supported a COVID-19 Business Resilience Survey, run by the High Streets Task Force, and there was a great response with over 1,000 completions by businesses.
The Task Force is now renewing this survey for government, to help them to understand and respond to the economic impact of the pandemic in England. The results will be available in August, including regional breakdowns, which will help highlight key issues and support needs to government.
