COUNCIL bosses say they placed sandbags at the entrance to a closed York barbershop after receiving information that preparations were being made to open it again. They also said they had received overwhelming messages of support from the public for their actions, which were aimed at ensuring Q Gentlemens Barbers in Bishopthorpe Road operated in a Covid secure manner. The move comes after the premises were raided earlier this week by police and council officials, and the business was closed down, following a lengthy wrangle over Covid rules. Three men were also arrested and later released under investigation. Now Matt Boxall, Head of Public Protection at the council, has issued a statement saying said that unfortunately, the shop was required to be closed.
