"The situation is changing rapidly, and community efforts are very important. Make sure you’ve increased hygiene measures with more frequent cleaning, providing hand sanitiser for staff and customers and encouraging staff to wash their hands regularly with soap and water.

"We will keep you posted on the latest news and information, and we’ll work hard to ensure that the unique and vibrant character of Chichester’s high street survives this current situation.

"There’s no doubt that there are challenges ahead, but we’ll work with you to provide support however we can."
