Shop Local, Shop Safe

We know this is an extremely difficult time for local businesses with the coronavirus crisis bringing huge changes to H&F.

We’re here to help and we’re doing everything we possibly can to support you.

That’s why we’ve launched our new Shop Local, Shop Safe campaign in partnership with local business leaders to give our town centres, high streets, retailers, small businesses, arts organisations and markets a boost as the lockdown is eased, and businesses begin to reopen across Hammersmith, Fulham and Shepherds Bush.

Public safety will remain our number one priority as we help businesses reopen safely, keeping both your employees and customers safe. Working together, we can help our local economy bounce back stronger than ever.

We’ve launched a highly-visible Shop Local Shop Safe poster and sticker campaign, introduced temporary widened shopping areas in King Street, Hammersmith, and Uxbridge Road, Shepherds Bush, with more on the way across the borough, and temporary cycle lanes to make it easier for residents and businesses to social distance when commuting to and from the shops and work.

Non-essential retail confirmed to reopen from Monday 15th June

 The Business Secretary confirmed yesterday evening (Tuesday 9th June) that shops in England selling non-essential goods will be able to reopen from Monday 15 June, thanks to continuing progress in meeting our 5 tests.

High street retailers and department stores, including book shops, electronics retailers, tailors, auction houses, photography studios, indoor markets, and shops selling clothes, shoes and toys, will be allowed to open their doors again provided they follow the COVID-19 secure guidelines set out by the government in May.

Employers should also display a notice visibly in their shop windows or outside their store to show their employees, customers and other visitors that they have followed this guidance. The downloadable sign can be found here: https://bit.ly/CV19Sign

Full details of workplace guidance can be found here: https://bit.ly/CV19WorkingSafely.
