BUSINESSES in Henley are celebrating a partial return to normal after the third national coronavirus lockdown was eased.
From Monday, shops not considered “essential” by the Government were permitted to
re-open with social distancing measures in place and customers and staff required to wear face coverings and sanitise their hands.
Restaurants, pubs, bars and cafés, which could only serve takeaways after the lockdown was imposed on December 28, can now serve food and drink outdoors to groups of up to six people from different households.
Beauty salons, barbers and hairdressers can also trade while taking precautions, including partitioned areas for each customer and regular cleaning of tools and workstations.

BUSINESS owners are holding out hope that Henley Royal Regatta will go ahead this year and remain in the town.
Organisers have postponed the event until Wednesday to Sunday, August 10 to 15 to allow more time for the easing of the coronavirus restrictions to take effect.
They felt the original dates of June 29 to July 4 were too soon as the infrastructure had to start being built in March.
However, with a restriction on the number of spectators allowed to attend, the regatta may still be held at Dorney Lake in Buckinghamshire instead or could be cancelled for the second year running.
