Wolverhampton's outdoor markets reopen with new restrictions
Open-air markets in Wolverhampton will be opening up today for the first time since shutting down at the beginning of lockdown.
The markets in Bilston, Wednesfield and the city centre will reopen today under new guidelines, as the council sets out a phased return plan to keep traders and shoppers safe.
New measures will include a separate entrance and exit, a guided one-way system, a managed maximum capacity at any given time and extra security.
In the first phase shoppers will be able to purchase meat, poultry, fish, cheese, cooked meats, frozen foods, bakery products, fruit and vegetables, household goods, pet supplies and confectionery.
The second phase will see traders of takeaway food, mobile phone, vapes, and key cutting and shoe repair return, with the third stage seeing the markets open fully.
