Independent businesses are being forced to put prices up to survive
Eve Johnson has worked behind the counter of B&M Fabrics for the last five years and has also seen customer behaviour change in the midst of the crisis.
"Everything has gone up,” she said. “Anything that we have originally that hasn't gone up in the past 15 years has gone up nearly by a pound or 50p. "A lot of people can't afford that extra bit so they're having to be cautious when they're buying things. "The containers for shipments have nearly tripled in price. From working here, that's a massive thing. We've always kept thing affordable. We're not making any more profit but we're having to put the prices up.”, Eve also pointed to the “frustration” felt by people in relation to several issues being caused by the cost of living crisis.
