Town centres reopen after lockdown

By Tim Aldred

15 Jun 2020

Town centres and high streets across the county have reopened following the easing of government restrictions.

One-way systems, hand sanitiser stations and safety ambassadors will be common sites as non-essential shops begin trading again, but under the cloud of the coronavirus pandemic.

The Mall in Blackburn will operate its normal trading hours, but not all shops and eateries will be open with immediate effect.

Blackburn BID has also launched a new mobile app ‘Experience Blackburn’ – which will form part of their recovery and transformational marketing campaign to support Blackburn town centre businesses through the pandemic and post-coronavirus. It is now available on both Android and via the Apple store.
