Network Rail today announced swift and significant measures aimed at supporting retailers in Britain’s busiest and biggest stations, and small business tenants across their commercial estate, as the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic begins to severely impact trading.
With immediate effect, Network Rail is cancelling all first quarter (25thMarch – 23rdJune 2020) rent payments due from tenants in their commercial estate portfolio, providing significant relief for small businesses who are worried about the impact of the virus on their footfall.
此外，网络铁路将在亚搏彩票软件官网新财政年度的第一季度（2012年6月至6月20日）*中取消我们的托管站的所有基本租金支付。删除整个季度的基本租金将在此艰难时间内帮助零售商。
David Biggs, managing director for Network Rail Property, said:“We work in partnership with retailers and tenants to provide positive experiences for passengers and communities. In challenging times, it is important we step up to the plate and show our partners they are valued, and we are ready and willing to help. That is why we have taken this decisive action today.
“We also understand more support may be required as this situation develops. We will continue to liaise with central Government and will keep speaking with our retailers and tenants about how we can assist further.”
