Bournemouth among beneficiaries of 'eat out to help out' scheme
Warm weather also helped seaside towns and small cities such as Dundee, evening visitor numbers suggest
Seaside destinations including Bournemouth, and towns such as Doncaster have been among the biggest beneficiaries of the government’s “eat out to help out” scheme, according to research.
The Centre for Cities thinktank said the restaurant discount scheme and warm summer weather encouraged more people to visit town centres in early August after lockdown measures were eased further.
