Non-essential businesses, including retail, personal care, indoor sports and leisure, outdoor areas at hospitality venues, will re-open under Step 2 (12 April 2021).

If you are a business and are unsure of the rules, please get in touch with our business helplineĀ on 023 9284 1641 or emailĀ business@portsmouthcc.gov.uk
