Safe re-opening of High Streets.

The Government has today announced a new £50 million fund for councils across England to prepare for the safe reopening of high streets and other retail spaces, helping to support livelihoods, to get people back to work and customers back to the shops.

  • As part of Britain's road map to recovery, our ambition is to reopen non-essential retail in a phased way from 1 June – subject to the scientific advice. We will set out further detail on how and when these can reopen safely shortly.
     
  • The £50 million Reopening High Streets Safely Fund will help councils in England introduce a range of safety measures, helping to kick-start local economies, get people back to work and customers back to the shops. It will also support a range of practical safety measures including new signs, street markings and temporary barriers.
     
  • Levelling up the regions and supporting our high streets has always been central to the mission of this government – and, as we begin to slowly return to normality, the re-opening of our high streets will be key to kick-starting our economic recovery.
