GRIMSBY'S TOP TOWN MARKET REMAINS OPEN FOR 'ESSENTIAL' ITEMS

A REMINDER has been sounded that Grimsby’s Top Town Market remains open during the coronavirus lockdown.

This to allow those stalls which sell 'essential items' to carry on serving customers.

Today North East Lincolnshire Council put out this statement: "A number of traders selling essential items such as meat, vegetables and fruit are remaining open so long as they comply with  Government guidelines on social distancing.

"The market hall management has restricted access into some areas of the market hall, introduced floor markers to ensure shoppers remain two metres apart and introduced queuing arrangements with each trader. 

"Additional cleaning procedures have also been put in place."

Says Cllr John Fenty, NELC's portfolio holder for regeneration and skills:: “I should  like to thank the market shoppers for adhering to the social distancing measures in place, thereby allowing trading to continue."

Those who cannot get to the market are able to order over the phone directly with some traders:

* Fruit and vegetables from Huston Bros: 07749 396 537
* Fruit and vegetables from Turner Brothers Ltd: 07712 322 637
* Meat from The Meat Master: 07907 582 136

Adds Cllr Fenty “Shopping local and supporting our local businesses through this crisis is essential."
