In the news this morning, the government is to propose a ban on leases for new build houses. Prezzo wants to sell one in 10 of its restaurants. The UK has only a year’s worth of new industrial property left available for expanding manufacturers. McColl’s has seen its performance boosted by 300 former Co-op stores, and shares in B&M are boosted by news of a possible Asda takeover. Plans for Crossrail2 in London move a step closer, and London Mayor Sadiq Khan wants shops and restaurants in the capital to open later. Building firms could face fines for labour abuses by contractors.
