Shopping safely
Local businesses across the district have gone to great lengths to put in place safety measures so you can shop with confidence during this challenging time.
We're supporting them by putting up signs to remind people of how to shop safely and by installing public hand sanitiser points.
You can help protect yourself and others while out shopping by:
- Washing or sanitising your hands regularly
- Wearing a face covering in shops and other indoor spaces
- Keeping a safe distance from others
- Following the Covid-19 Secure measures businesses have put in place
- Paying by contactless if you can
