Those who serve food and drink and can operate a delivery or collection service, however, are still able to operate.
As part of our #supportlocal campaign we’re encouraging people to shop at our independent businesses where possible, whilst still adhering to social distancing regulations.
We’ve rounded up some of the local shops still open for collection and / or delivery. Find out more by searching for each business on Facebook.
For a round-up of restaurants delivering during lockdown see here.
