The Warrington Business Improvement District (BID) is urging businesses to share their plans for reopening when lockdown restrictions are eased.

Information gathered will help inform a stakeholder-wide mapping exercise, as well as a co-ordinated strategy and social distancing measures. The aim is to create a “consistent system of safety interventions” across public and privately managed spaces in the town centre.

This is likely to consider one-way systems of movement, signage, car parking and queue management in smaller retail and larger retail environments.

The organisation is also collecting data from businesses about their plans to reopen to monitor what is happening on the ground.
