Getting back into shopping in our local high street shops
As more high street shops are beginning to open, I wanted to take a closer look into the 'new normal' and see how our owner of Vitality Bay in North Finchley got on when they opened up for the first time!
The re-opening of businesses in North London (Edited)
It’s lovely to see businesses in North London dusting off the cobwebs and putting up bunting today in preparation for reopening on Monday!
I bumped in to many business owners like the Friendly Manager of Ye Olde Monken Holt Gerry and cheerful Barmaid Carmel Keane, who spoke to me about the preparations they are putting in place to ensure the safety of their customers on Monday. I was impressed by all of the health & safety measures they mentioned, some of which included offering take-away only, social distancing, PPE, a one way system and all of the other safety guidelines needed for a safe and successful reopening!
I look forward to supporting businesses like Ye Olde Monk Holte, and staff like Gerry and Carmen, on my Local High Street on Monday, as many like them wait with bated breath to see if anyone comes through their doors once they open next week.

Not so long ago Emma Mattocks - North London FSB Membership Advisor interviewed a member of the Scooploop team about what Scooploop is and what it does! Have a watch of the video below to find out more.
Good luck to all the highstreets!
Congratulations to all the businesses that started to open yesterday. It's fantastic to see people being able to get back into work (where they can)! Lets continue to support small businesses and use their services as much as we can in these difficult times :)
