FACING BANKRUPTCY
MANY HOLIDAY RESORTS London. July 6. The setting up of defence zones has created many problems for the people living in the coastal regions, from which holiday-makers and casual visitors are barred. Because of the ending of holiday trade, many resorts facc bankruptcy. Defence areas, it is contended, are now "distressed" areas. Hotels, board-ing-houses and others engaged in catering are badly hit, as are entertainmcnt industries. Inevitably rents and ratcs will remain unpaid. Local councils are pressing the Government for an immediate moratorium. Many of the banned towns still house evacuated children who will have to be removed inland. and at Ihe moment their parents cannot visit them. A less serious poser put to the authorities in one district involved the request of a cricket team outside the zone to enter it in order to play a match with a coast side. The request was refused.
