Thousands of non-essential shops across the country re-opened their doors to customers for the first time in almost three months today.

Stroud saw a calm and steady stream of customers in the town centre throughout the day as the high street re-opened, although there were queues early this morning at Sports Direct.

Stroud District Council is also working with partners on a wider high street recovery plan which will be publicised in the coming weeks.

To help support shoppers and traders, public toilets run by Stroud District Council in Stroud town centre and Stratford Park, Dursley, Nailsworth and Stonehouse, and disabled toilets in Wotton-under-Edge are expected to re-open tomorrow (Tuesday, June 16).
