While some stores and facilities have remained open at Willow Brook, the full centre hasn’t been accessible, whilst adhering to the Government’s lockdown rules.
Now, as restrictions are relaxed, the Centre has released plans of how Willow Brook will operate as more stores begin to re-open.
The key points of the plan are:
Willow Brook staff are being trained to support customers as they make their way around the shops and the centre, without confusion.
Those visitors with appointments at businesses such as Specsavers, Ocean, Willow Brook Clinic, MyDentist, Reed, Vision Express, CJ Hole or Reflections will be able to move to the front of the queue at the car park entrance and will be allowed access as soon as Mall numbers allow.
Willow Brook Centre Manager, Andy Wynn said: “We’ll do our best to keep things moving as quickly and smoothly as possible, but it’s worth allowing yourself a little extra time – even for booked appointments as Government guidelines dictate that we should limit numbers.”
As with the majority of activities and gatherings planned for 2020, Willow Brook has taken the difficult decision to cancel its own events this year.
“It wasn’t an easy decision, but the safety of our customers and staff is of paramount importance. Plus, we don’t know what the official guidelines will be yet for running such events and they are planned a long way in advance,” said Andy.
Signage, tannoy messages and increased information on social media regarding social distancing measures will aim to keep everyone aware and informed about procedures around the centre.
This also includes reducing ‘touch points’ such as push bins and ensuring there are additional hand sanitising stations.
Andy said: “As we adapt to the new regulations and measures, we are encouraging people to follow the Government guidance and visit Willow Brook alone, as and when possible. In return we’ll do all we can to ensure that the centre is safe, clean and convenient to use.”
