On Monday, Littlehampton was transformed as shops reopened for the first time in months.

The High Street was full of life as customers returned to non-essential stores, which welcomed them back for the first time since lockdown began on March 23.

And shop owners were delighted to be back.

Paul Wakeman from Bah Humbug Sweets in Anchor Springs praised the Government furlough scheme and local business grants for keeping them afloat. He also applauded Arun District Council and Littlehampton Town Council for investing in a community business warden for two months, adding to the presence already in town.
