Commenting on the Executives decision on hospitality and close contact businesses, Retail NI Chief Executive Glyn Roberts said:
“Whilst this package of restrictions is far from perfect, at least we have a decision from the Executive that will give some certainty of opening for hospitality and close contact businesses”
“This decision provides a roadmap for the reopening of our high streets for the Christmas period and increased footfall for local retailers”
“Retail NI will also be pressing the Executive on appointing Covid-19 Marshalls and establishing Public Hand Sanitisers in our town centres as well as package of support measures to support our high streets throughout the Christmas period”
