With Christmas around the corner, it seems shoppers are keen to get their presents as shops welcomed in customers after a month of not being able to trade. A spokesperson for Chichester District Council said: “It’s absolutely vital that we all play our part in supporting businesses. This is why, in partnership with the Observer series and our other partners, we are really pushing our ‘shop local, visit local, support local’ campaign — and we urge everyone to support their local businesses as much as possible as they are the lifeblood of our communities.”
