"It's gone quite smoothly up to now," he said as the Star caught up with him today.

"People have been queuing up again, I'm happy. It's always a worry when you start up again to see how many people are going to be out in town.

"Fingers crossed we can stay open now and don't have to close again. Let's hope."
