Last month saw the return of some of Cuckfield High Street’s shops as they slowly began to reopen their doors for business for the first time in almost three months following the lockdown. The welcome news came after the government announced that non-essential shops throughout the UK could open their doors and allow customers to enjoy the High Street shopping experience once again. Lisa Evans, Director of Ensor Interior Design, described how she felt as the easing of the restriction measures and rules started to shift: “You could almost hear the tumbleweed on the High Street during lockdown, but now it is alive with browsers, shoppers and people just wanting to say hello. We keep our door open during the day, which people seem to love, most stop and say hello and are glad things are returning to normal. We are very positive about the future and are now seeing clients again.” Some of the traders of course remained open throughout the lockdown period and have kept the village alive by helping the Cuckfield community come together in these challenging times.
