First of all, we’d like to extend our good wishes to you all during these uncertain times, but we know that, as a community, we can pull through together.
With the threat of Coronavirus continuing to grow, we’re sure you’re aware that the government has had to introduce further, stricter measures in order to try and take back control of the spread. Please take these measures seriously and do everything you can to stay home and practice social distancing as much as you possibly can for as long as is deemed necessary by our leading experts. We hope you’re all staying safe and healthy, and remember to wash your hands thoroughly and often!
With that said, we need to carry on with life as best we can, with many of us working from home and your local businesses learning to adapt for the weeks and months ahead. During this time, we will be sharing updates right here on exactly how your community is keeping businesses moving in Harborne. Hopefully, you’ll be able to use this as a handy resource to help you see which businesses are still trading and understand exactly what measures they are putting in place.
