The Archer Fairs Licensed market will return to Leek on Saturday 13 June with Charter Market coming back from Wednesday 17 June. In Cheadle, the market at Greyhound Walk will start again from Friday 19 June.

The Council is also working with Chambers of Commerce, Growth Hub and Destination Staffordshire to support businesses with advice, training and funding to help them re-open.

Council Leader, Councillor Sybil Ralphs, said: “With more of our shops, markets and businesses set to start opening up again from next week, the Council is working to put in place measures to ensure people can return to our towns and villages with confidence that it is safe to do so.

“That will mean some changes to town centres and to how shops and business operate so that the necessary social distancing, and other safety measures, can be observed to protect everyone.”
