The Echo sent out a survey to businesses in Lowertown seeking in an effort to develop a picture of what our businesses have been through and how they see things developing as we emerge from the lockdown but operate under new rules.
The questions were?
- Were you able to keep some part of your business going during the lockdown?
- What type of business do you operate?
- Are you open for business now or plan to open soon?
- Have you had to remodel your premises to facilitate opening under social distance rules?
- Do you think your business location can be adapted to support social distancing?
- How confident are you that customers will quickly return to shop or buy?
- Do you have concerns that customers and/or employees could contract COVID in the workplace?
- Which of the following special precautions will you be adopting to protect employees and customers?
Here are the answers we received
