High Streets minister Simon Clarke said: “The re-opening of our High Streets will be a crucial part of kick-starting our economic recovery and restarting town life.

“That is why I welcome the appointment of Mark Robinson to head up the High Streets Task Force.

“I know that Mark will be a strong voice for ensuring that local businesses get the support they need to reopen safely in the coming weeks.

“Combined with our £50 million Reopening High Streets Safely Fund, the work of the Task Force will support our High Streets through this challenging time and ensure they have the tools they need to get back on their feet.”
