A HIGH STREET retailer says “time will tell” if businesses can survive the thrid national lockdown. Hundreds of business across the city have been forced to close their doors again as the government announced another national shutdown on Monday. The lockdown means all non-essential shops, leisure and entertainment venues have been forced to close, with pubs and restaurant only allowed to offer takeaway. One vintage clothes retailer, Beyond Retro, will have been closed almost six months by the time the third lockdown ends. Senior manager of the Brighton store in Gloucester Road, Hugo Harris, said the store has had no support.
