  • A small business owner has said her cafe will struggle to survive due to rising costs and is calling on the government for more support. Donna Carr runs Dot-teas Emporium, which also acts as a hub for people to come together for art and craft projects,

The article discusses the concerns of a café owner, Sarah, in the UK regarding the government's decision to reduce business rate relief from 75% to 40% starting in April.
