The lockdown is slowly easing off after three months - and there are a lot of independent shops in Northampton that need the public's support again.
The Chronicle & Echo has been campaigning to remind shoppers to get out and support the town's businesses now they have the chance to open their doors again.
Here are the nine highest-rated independent shops in Northampton as ranked on Google Reviews that have reopened in the past week and are happy to see customers again.
