AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

Extreme Heat Watch: The Met Office has extended its red extreme heat warning into Friday night, with highs of 36C–38C in parts of east and south-east England and “population-wide” health impacts likely. Transport Disruption: Train operators in Surrey and beyond are telling passengers to “only travel if essential” as services are reduced and delays mount. Water Rules: South East Water has imposed an emergency hosepipe ban on about 850,000 customers in Kent, with fines up to £1,000 for breaches. Consumer Confidence: The BRC says sentiment improved in June, helped by easing Middle East tensions and lower inflation expectations, though job worries remain. Shopping & Pricing: Morrisons is boosting Blue Light Card café discounts to 15% until Sunday (then 10%). EU Travel Costs: A new EU rule will include cabin bag allowance in flight prices by default, but UK travellers won’t automatically benefit. Tech & Spending: Trials of digital supermarket trolleys are linked to higher spend (reported +32%). Payments & Trust: A survey finds 70% of UK adults want both cash and cashless options, even as cash use declines.
