While all shops in England and Northern Ireland can now open, in Wales no dates have been given.

People running non-essential shops have been told to prepare, but their businesses remain closed and in plight.

On Cardiff's Wellfield Road parking bays have been cordoned off to make wider pavements so shoppers can queue safely outside stores.

That is because it has been designated a pilot scheme for socially-distanced shopping.

So how do those trading on the once-bustling street in Roath feel as they wait for the go-ahead to reopen?
