THERE will not be a Makers Market in Knutsford on Sunday, June 7, despite Prime Minister Boris Johnson announcing outdoor markets could reopen from June 1.
The popular Makers Market normally takes place in Knutsford on the first Sunday of the month, but has not been held as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.
Knutsford Town Council clerk Adam Keppel-Green said: “There will not be a Makers Market on June 7, but the council will be exploring options with the market organisers for potential markets in the future, taking into account all necessary government advice on safety and social distancing measures.”
Boris Johnson set out on Monday a timeline for retail to reopen. Outdoor markets and car showrooms will be able to reopen from June 1 as soon as they are able to meet the Covid-19 secure guidelines to protect shoppers and workers.
All other non-essential retail, including shops selling clothes, shoes, toys, furniture, books and electronics, as well as tailors, auction houses, photography studios and indoor markets, are expected to be able to reopen from June 15 if the Government’s five tests are met and they follow the Covid-19 secure guidelines.
