More coronavirus restrictions have been eased this morning (Monday, 12 April) as part of the Government's roadmap out of lockdown - and here's a quick reminder of what has changed.

The biggest change is that non-essential shops, are allowed to open. We'll be in town later talking to business owners about how they are feeling.

Also today, schools, colleges and universities can reopen, and close contact services can resume.

A summary of all the changes from today:

• travel restrictions within the UK and Common Travel Area will be lifted

• full return to schools and further education settings

• university campuses can open for blended face-to-face and online learning for all students

• all shops and close contact services can open
