MARKINGS SUGGEST BRIGG SHOPS WILL ENJOY GOOD FOOT-FALL


These pictures show steps have been taken ahead of all shops in Brigg being permitted to serve customers once again from Monday (April 12).
So called 'non-essential' businesses will then be freed from the latest, long-running Coronavirus emergency lockdown and can rejoin those 'essential' premises which the Government has permitted to stay open throughout.
We observed stencils and white paint being employed to fashion footprints on town centre paving the other evening.
These emblems run parallel to shop fronts and indicate where people should queue to await service inside the premises.
With good foot-fall expected on Monday and the shopping days which follow, people are advised to comply with these guidance measures (toe the line?) and not queue across Wrawby Street during busy periods.
This will avoid waiting shoppers and other people walking along the town's main shopping thoroughfare coming into close proximity. Social distancing needs to be observed.
Although the Market Place is wide and spacious, the painted footprints evident on the paving here will prove useful during the monthly farmers' markets when some of the Saturday stalls are located close to shop entrances.
