It was great to join the team at The Heart Centre in Walton on Saturday morning. The Heart re-opened last week as part of the latest careful easing of lockdown measures, and I went to see the work that’s been done to make the centre COVID-19 secure.
I was impressed by the effort that’s been put in to ensuring that shoppers can return safely, both by The Heart as a whole and by individual shops. Explore Learning, Clarks Shoes and Surrey Home and Gifts all showed me the measures they’ve put in place – including clear signage, PPE for shop staff and providing hand sanitiser for customers.
The past few months have been very difficult for retailers across Elmbridge, so I would encourage residents – if you are able – to get out and support those which have now re-opened while following the social distancing guidance in place.
