Shop Safe, Shop Local

Redhill Town Centre

It has been great to see our special and unique towns, villages and shopping parades coming back to life with the opening of many much loved non-essential retailers. With pubs and restaurants also opening on the 4 July the Council is encouraging residents to support local retailers and ‘Shop Safe, Shop Local’ social distancing signs and markings placed in Banstead, Redhill, Reigate and Horley will help shoppers navigate the ‘new normal’ of the high street.

The aim of the Council’s initiative is to remind and alert shoppers how to go about their journey in the safest way possible. Brightly coloured graphics – placed at both eye-level and on the floor – will highlight areas where social distancing may not be possible, such as blind corners and narrow alleyways. Some of the Council car parks which have lifts will have eye-level notices to make shoppers aware that only one household can be in a lift at any one time.

Executive Member for Business and Economy, Councillor Eddy Humphreys said: “Our high streets are at the centre of our local economy. It’s important for our local businesses that shoppers are encouraged back to the high street – and we want them to do so with confidence. However social distancing remains essential to the safety of shoppers, and we hope these markers will help to keep the message at the forefronts of people’s minds and alert them to a ‘new normal’ when it comes to high street etiquette.”
