TOWN centres across west Wiltshire were buzzing on Monday as people flocked back to the shops after enduring three months of a third lockdown. High streets burst into life as non-essential shops, hairdressers, barbers, leisure centres and gyms reopened their doors for business. Rachel Thomas, manager of the Blue Cross charity shop in Fore Street, Trowbridge, said: The whole town centre is buzzing. It s been like Christmas Eve before the advent of online shopping. It s really nice to see our customers again. We ve had lots of donations and have made some sales. It s been lovely. Around the corner, Naomi Kalgerou, manager of Shoe Zone, said: We ve had lots of customers coming in. We even had people queuing outside and have taken double today s sales target.

Hunts Post reporter Alex Collett has spoken to shoppers in Huntingdon this morning about the further reopening of the town centre.
The largest queues at 9am were at the new Shoe Zone in High Street and TK Max in Chequers Court.
Those waiting in the queues told us they were excited to be back on the High Street after four months in lock-down.
Mavalina Caus, 35, from Huntingdon, said: I am excited. I am pregnant, so I need some clothes as nothing fits me anymore. I have been shopping online, but I prefer to come to the shops, especially for clothes to make sure I like things before I buy them.
