Weston businesses are optimistic that a summer spending spree is imminent ahead of the reopening of non-essential retail stores on April 12.
In accordance with the UK Government s lockdown roadmap, non-essential stores will be allowed to resume trading from Monday but should only be visited alone or with household groups .
A recent survey carried out by the Mercury suggested the majority of residents were eager to visit the town s high street and this sentiment is shared by North Somerset Council s executive member for the economy.
Cllr Mark Canniford said: The council is offering as much support as it can for businesses to have a successful reopening and will help with licensing for outdoor seating and other arrangements.
