Local Shops (Updated 7.5.20)

As recently announced, only shops selling food and essential items are allowed to remain open. However, some essential shops are choosing to close and some non-essential shops are offering a home delivery service. Please note that the situation is changing daily so it is recommended to check if the shop you want to visit is still open, or is open for restricted hours only. Also note that many shops are asking customers to queue outside two metres apart and to enter one or two at a time. The current situation is:
