Here's when non-essential shops in Milton Keynes will reopen according to Boris Johnson's leaked roadmap out of lockdown

Boris Johnson's roadmap out of lockdown will be revealed in the House of Commons at 3:30PM today, before being further clarified when he addresses the nation live at 7PM.

Leaked reports anticipate the earliest non-essential shops will reopen is mid-April.

The government are monitoring four factors: the success of the vaccine rollout, evidence of vaccine efficacy, an assessment of new variants, and keeping infection rates below a level that could put unsustainable pressure on the NHS.

The latest data shows 54,395 people in Milton Keynes have been vaccinated against the Coronavirus. The current infection rate in the city has stabilised to around the national average.

The reopening of essential shops has been grouped with access to outdoor pubs as part of the second stage of a four stage plan to ease lockdown restrictions.

Shops will reopen after schools which are opening on March 8, and after further outdoor restrictions have eased. On March 29 outdoor meetings between households of up to six people will be allowed.

Outdoor sports will also return on March 29 for adults, children's sporting activities will return when schools reopen.
