ARGUS readers are in favour of non-essential shops being allowed to open on June 15 – but only just.

In an online poll on the matter 54 per cent said they believed the Government is right to permit shops to open in June.

Meanwhile 46 per cent said it was too early to loosen lockdown measures preventing shops from opening their doors.

Almost 200 readers took part in the poll days after the Government’s announcement on the easing of restrictions.
