The Brunel Shopping Centre has adapted to the second national lockdown, with many of its units still open. 

During the one-month lockdown shoppers can only go out to buy essentials, or for education/work, to exercise or for medical reasons.

But the government has allowed shops to operate click and collect services as well as allowing restaurants and cafes to stay open for takeaways and deliveries.

For essential food supplies Marks & Spencer food hall, Holland & Barrett, Grape Tree, Delikatesy Smaczek, Poundland and, until it closes for good on November 14, Sainsbury's are all open as normal.

Opticians and registered podiatrists are this time being allowed to continue seeing patients so Boots Opticians, Vision Express and White Horse Opticians are all open, as is Professional Footcare. 

The main Boots store, including the pharmacy, is also available for essential supplies and medicines.

Brunel Shopping Centre manager Charlotte Jarrett said:  “We recommend that you check that the retailer or food business you need to visit is open before you plan your essential trip. 

"Most businesses are using their social media or website to communicate the details of how they are operating during this lockdown so please make sure you check there first or you can phone them. "

During the first lockdown many of The Crossing’s units adapted by introducing takeaway or delivery services so this time around none of the businesses have stopped trading.

Sit-down dining is not allowed during the current restrictions so the seating areas are cordoned off.
