In a bid to help retailers recover following months of lockdown, the government is allowing High Street shops to stay open until 22:00 when in-store trading can resume in England from 12 April, the Times reports. “Go have fun” is the government’s message to shoppers, who are being encouraged to spend their money when stores, pubs and restaurants reopen. Retailers usually require council permission to open after 19:00.
