This includes the introduction of additional cleaning and hygiene measures on site, asking visitors to comply with social distancing rules at all times, and the introduction of queue-management where necessary at some stores.

To enable socially-distanced travel they will continue to offer ample parking including disabled and accessible bays.

People are also encouraged to use bike stands on site and enjoy the use of the Greenway which makes safer walking and cycling routes available in the heart of the Nene Valley.

Food shops and restaurants such as JamaicaBlue, Heavenly Desserts, Five Guys, Blue Mountain Yard, Costa, Bewiched and Magazine Heaven are offering take-away services only.

It is not yet known when they will be able to fully re-open to guests and offer eat-in dining, but this will be in-line with the latest government advice.
