All of England now faces strict lockdown rules to get through the winter and slow the spread of coronavirus with record levels of cases - but shoppers can still visit certain stores.
With effect from Tuesday (January 5), people have been told to 'stay at home' except for in certain circumstances - such as going to work but only when it's impossible to work from home and to shop for necessities.
Stores such as The Range and B&M are able to stay open during the third lockdown as they are deemed 'essential retailers' in that they sell food, building supplies, pet food/supplies and garden centre stock.
Both stores at Lady Bay Retail Park were quiet on Tuesday afternoon, January 5, the first day of the lockdown, to see how things were looking.
Both stores were very quiet with just a few shoppers in each and no queues to get in at all as shoppers stayed home.
There was ample room to social distance properly. Any shoppers and staff within the stores were wearing face coverings.
There was also tape on the floors outlining the route shoppers should take around the store.
And there was a queueing system in place to pay for products safely at a 2metre social distance.
Shelves had plenty of stock in place across both stores.
The B&M Bargains store in Beeston store also looked quiet on Tuesday afternoon.
The changes will be in effect until at least mid-February.
Under the lockdown you cannot leave your home to meet socially with anyone you do not live with or are not in a support bubble with (if you are legally permitted to form one).
You may exercise on your own, with one other person, or with your household or support bubble.
You should not meet other people you do not live with, or have formed a support bubble with, unless for a permitted reason.
People are urged to stay two metres apart from anyone not in your household.
