RETAIL bosses across Winchester have begun drawing up plans to reopen, two months after the lockdown began.
With a raft of safety measures from hand sanitiser stations, personal protective equipment (PPE) and limiting the number of customers, shops are ready to start trading again.
The Prime Minister announced on Monday that car showrooms and outdoor markets will be able to reopen from June 1 “at the earliest”, followed by all non-essential retail on June 15.
