Interactive map shows local businesses in Portsmouth area which have reopened

As lockdown restrictions around the coronavirus pandemic are eased, non-essential retailers have been getting their shops back on their feet.

From June 15 shops across the Portsmouth area were allowed to reopen as long as they could make sure social distancing was possible.

Long queues were spotted outside stores in Commercial Road, including Primark, and more than 50 shops opened their doors at Gunwharf Quays.

The easing of lockdown restrictions has also meant many of our local businesses have been able to get back on their feet.

In our interactive map, The News has listed many of the local businesses that shoppers can now access, from florists and shoemakers to newsagents and takeaways.

When you go out shopping in the coming weeks, please think about the things you can do to #SupportLocal in your area.
