Debby Kelly-Banks of Bon Fabrics says the business adapted during lockdown, to deliver their products around the island, and occasionally had to make drop-offs for customers in the Sea Terminal Car Park.
Mrs Kelly-Banks says the main gripe amongst customers visiting the town centre is the lack of parking:
