Re-opening the city

Re-opening the city

Planning is well underway by Bondholders Derby City Council, the Cathedral Quarter and St Peters Quarter Business Improvement Districts (BIDs) and intu Derby to support the safe reopening of the city, as lockdown measures are eased from 15th June.

Following the Government’s recent announcement that high streets can reopen, and people are able to visit non-essential retail outlets, the necessary social distancing and hygiene measures are being put in place to enable the city centre to be as safe as possible for residents, visitors and businesses.

Councillor Matthew Holmes, Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Regeneration, Planning and Transportation said: “The pandemic has had a huge impact on our retailers, and it is great news that the high street can start to reopen from Monday, and the city can begin to rebuild, though it is vital that it is reopened as safely as possible for everyone.”
