Local businesses adapted quickly to the challenge of government restrictions brought in due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
With health and government regulations changing daily, on Monday 23rd March the main street of town changed from a hive of activity to a sleepy village as businesses implemented the changes.
Cafes and restaurants are not allowed to have seated dining but take away meals are permitted. Space restrictions meant that businesses have had to curtail the number of customers in the shops and mark out places for customers to stand.
