Non-essentail shops and boutiques re-opened today in Chipping Sodbury High Street.

Customers and retailers have begun to return to the street as Government lockdown restrictions continue to lift.

James Ball, Mayor of Chipping Sodbury and owner of James Ball Cars Limited said:

"It's so good to see Sodbury slowly coming back to life after weeks of being pretty much a ghost town.

"Many of the fantastic local shops re-opened this morning and i wish them all well after such a difficult time.

"I just hope the pubs, cafes and hairdressers will be able to follow suit on July 4, as they bring so many people to our lovely town."
