East Devon s Reopening of the High Streets programme is supporting a district wide campaign, #StayLocalShopSafe, to inform residents and visitors about how to use their high streets and town centres safely.
It also showcases how local businesses are responding to the unprecedented challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic by adapting, evolving and reaching out to their community, offering safe and responsive ways to access the goods and services that they need.
EVERYONE is being urged to do their bit to help keep people safe as shops prepare to reopen this month. Non-essential retailers and personal care businesses such as hairdressers and beauty salons are set to welcome customers once again from Monday, April 12. Also, pubs and restaurants will be able to serve customers outdoors. In Craven, the district council has been working with businesses to help ensure high streets will be safe. And under its Reopening High Streets Safely campaign, it is encouraging shoppers to play their part to help stop the spread of Covid-19. Craven Council chief executive, Paul Shevlin, said: “We know it has been a tough time for everyone in the district, including our many brilliant local independent businesses.
