our business correspondent
emma simpson reports
from a market in essex.
they've had a market
here in epping for 800 years,
and they're taking their time to get
this reopening right.
just a third of the stallls today.
it's not their usual set—up
but traders are adapting,
relieved to be back.
we've been here 30 years.
we've been through recessions
and all sorts of things,
but this is another level,
it's just been really difficult,
really, really difficult.
so, we're just pleased that,
hopefully, we're gradually
getting back to normality.
no, we're absolutely delighted.
in fact, i'm so delighted,
that's for them!
a welcome return.
the dogs don't do social
distancing, i'm afraid!
customers are also
adjusting to the new rules.
people have been very good
at keeping their distance.
and outdoors is much
better than being indoors.
it's good for the people.
and, you know, the public
miss the market.
it's a community, isn't it?
normally, you'd have stalls on both
sides here but this town...
