Since March 2020 we have been living with the Covid-19 virus as a threat to the population. The Government have given local authorities funding to ensure that public spaces next to businesses are as safe as possible and to do this temporary changes may need to be made to town centres. The Reopening Highstreets Safely Fund can be used to enhance safety measures and improve the attractiveness of town centres. These changes can help improve user confidence and increase, safely, the number of people using town centres.
