As the UK prepared for the ease of lockdown, the team at <strong>Wellington</strong><br />
Town Council and Telford & Wrekin Council worked hard behind the<br />
scenes to ensure that <strong>Wellington</strong> was a safe place to v<strong>is</strong>it.<br />
“New measures have been adopted such as social d<strong>is</strong>tancing signs and<br />
our local retailers have introduced hygiene screens, one way systems and<br />
hand sanit<strong>is</strong>ing facilities.” Sally Coates, Marketing Destination Officer with<br />
Telford & Wrekin Council said.<br />
‘Virtual’ consultation meetings have been hosted by the Love <strong>Wellington</strong><br />
Business group with many businesses getting involved and contributing.<br />
The main concern has been reassuring people that it <strong>is</strong> safe, to enable<br />
businesses to start to trade again.<br />
Consideration also took place to help safe queuing and social d<strong>is</strong>tancing<br />
in the town which entailed some changes to traffic measures which were<br />
continually reassessed. Whilst most have reverted back to pre-covid<br />
arrangements now, traffic <strong>is</strong> still diverted away from entering Church<br />
Street at the junction of Vineyard Road. The objective <strong>is</strong> to protect<br />
pedestrians by d<strong>is</strong>couraging through traffic from Vineyard Road to Bridge<br />
Road using the Church Street and Market Street route. Narrow pavements<br />
in Market Street meant pedestrians having to walk in the road in order<br />
to maintain social d<strong>is</strong>tancing. Vehicular access to Market Street <strong>is</strong> still<br />
available for deliveries and access. There are no current plans to close<br />
Market Street to traffic.<br />
