There was also some government support for businesses, and payment for staff on furlough. Otherwise more businesses would have closed.

I am not sure about:<\/strong>
\nGifts and Gallery – where one of the staff told me they were closing but there is no notice on the shop door or website. So they may continue in another form.
\nOx Vapours – stopped trading from Stert Street after a flood and could be waiting for the premises to be put right. They do now operate from a business park in Kingston Bagpuize.<\/p>\n

Peacocks are having a long running closing down sale but still have stock in the shop.<\/p>\n

Change to business in same premises<\/strong>
\nSean Antony moved back from two to one salon after the original salon had a revamp, and Karim’s Trims took his place in Lombard Street.<\/p>\n
