Grantham indoor play areas face difficult period with no confirmed reopening date
With pubs, restaurants and hair salons opening their doors today [Saturday], other local businesses remain closed.
The announced list of business types allowed to reopen today did not include soft play centres or bowling alleys, creating a lengthened period of uncertainty for local business owners who remain closed indefinitely.
Although no concrete date for the reopening of gyms has been confirmed, safety precautions are being implemented by some Grantham gyms for when that day arrives.
The situation at Imagination Town, an indoor children’s role-play centre also not allowed to reopen just yet, is even more uncertain.
A spokesperson said: “It’s been very difficult as we have had to be closed through the lockdown and no news on when we will be allowed to reopen again.
“We also have not been given any guidelines to make us Covid-safe. We wait for guidance from the Government and hope that by August we will be able to open again. Fingers crossed.”
The Journal also approached soft play centre Fun Farm and Grantham Bowl for comment on plans to reopen but none was made by the time of going to press.
