British Property Federation responds to Prime Minister’s lockdown update

The British Property Federation has responded to the Prime Minister’s lockdown statement, calling for clarity surrounding back-to-work measures.Melanie Leech, Chief Executive, British Property Federation said: “We urgently need the Government to publish the detail in its back-to-work papers and what public health guidance will apply as more people return to their places of work and have more freedom to enjoy public spaces.

“The overwhelming priority is to make sure that people are safe, but businesses will need time to prepare for and apply this guidance. As property owners and managers we have a critical role to play and we will work with our tenants in offices, warehouses and shops to support them and to make sure that the public spaces we are responsible for are safely managed.”
