Eased openings of all non-essential retail

Allow a wide range of shops to start trading using 'appointment only' and click and collect procedures only.

This allows a gentle, measured and safe start to trading for range of non-essential stores.

Monitor for 3 week period and relax further if appropriate.

Why the contribution is important

- does not limit to one type of retail (garden centres only good for those with gardens, what about non-essential needs of others?)
- allows safe re-introduction of non essential retail
- prevents queuing
- allows businesses to test trade under social distancing measures
- protects staff
- safer shopping environments
- avoids unnecessary travel (for example, going to a store and leaving again due to queues)
- can help businesses control stock supply/demand

Possibility even for shielding appointment slots to allow the more vulnerable to still experience some things at much less risk.
