Ipswich has seen the second highest rise in visits to non-essential stores in the UK since the return of shoppers on April 12, with business leaders welcoming the rise in footfall and urging people to support local.
Non-essential retail was allowed to reopen its doors on Monday, April 12, with Ipswich s high street seeing an influx of shoppers as eager customers queued outside Primark and Debenhams from the early hours.
One street trader even said last Saturday was busier than Christmas , as people enjoyed heading to the town to browse in the shops.
