SUTTON HIGH STREETS SOCIAL DISTANCE AND SAFETY MEASURE

Tender description

London Borough of Sutton have been awarded funding from the Reopening High Streets Safely (RHSS) Fund, a grant from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) to support the safe reopening of Sutton High Streets and other commercial centres after the COVID-19 lockdown measure being eased. When the shops, restaurants and businesses reopened on the high streets and shopping areas, the Council implemented a number of social distance and safety measures including queue management, signage, markings and barriers. This commission is funded by ERDF Reopening High Streets Safely Fund to establish a safe trading environment for businesses and customers in Sutton to support the economic recovery from COVID-19. The appointed provider will develop a holistic safety plan for the borough's high streets, auditing the current fixtures and fittings on the high streets and district centres to feed into the proposals for releasing and making better use of space, as well as enabling businesses to extend onto the public realm if required.
