As a team, we want to provide a safe environment for all of our shoppers. To ensure your experience at the Bridges is safe and trouble-free, we would ask you to abide by these very important rules as outlined below – for both your wellbeing and for the staff at the centre.
Here’s what’s in place for your safety and ours:
Social distancing
One way system to ensure social distancing measures are followed. Social distancing is essential and we will have a wide range of measures in place to keep your shopping experience secure. All shoppers must follow the marked route and keep 2 metres apart at all times.
Face coverings
From Friday 24 July 2020 face coverings must be worn in shops and we ask that you abide by the same rules when shopping or walking through the Bridges, unless you are medically exempt. If you are exempt due to medical reasons, you can collect an exemption sticker from our Customer Service Desk if you wish.
Should you visit without an exemption to wear a face covering, we will refuse entry from Wednesday 30th September 2020 and can call the police if people refuse to comply, the police have the formal enforcement powers and can issue a £100 fine.
Hand sanitisation stations
When visiting the centre, we ask you to use our hand sanitisation stations located at all entrances to the shopping centre as much as possible. All washroom facilities will remain open, but people may have to queue, as a “one in, one out” system will be used to ensure social distancing is maintained, however, customers who present us with a ‘Just Can’t Wait’ card will be allowed to the front of the queue and access to the toilets as soon as is practicable.
One-way system
Our one-way system with arrows will direct you on how to negotiate the centre. You must always abide by social distancing measures.
Queuing system
Where necessary, we will have a queuing system outside of shops, marked with yellow footprints placed two metres apart.
Enhanced cleaning
We have also introduced extra cleaning and sanitisation which will be on-going throughout the day, which will see a dedicated team sanitising all areas throughout the day.
Opening hours
The centre will be trading at its regular opening hours, which can be found here. Some stores may differ so please check with individual retailers before visiting.
Car Parks
Our Multi-storey car park and Roof-top car park are open for use, but social distancing will need to be exercised, in the car parks themselves and in lifts and stairwells. Normal charges apply.
Toilets
Our customer toilets will be open as usual during centre opening hours.
