The Mall Luton receives 'We’re Good To Go' green tick from Visit England

The Mall Luton has been awarded the Visit England 'We’re Good to Go' industry standard and consumer mark, recognising businesses adhering to the Government and public health guidance around COVID-19.

The 'We’re Good to Go' stamp of approval reassures shoppers the centre is safe, seeing The Mall carry out a COVID-19 risk assessment, and that all necessary safety measures have been taken to support social distancing and maintain cleanliness.

An ‘alert’ system has also been introduced to ensure that businesses signed up to the 'We’re Good to Go' industry standard are notified if there are changes to the official guidance.

Roy Greening, general manager at The Mall, Luton said: “We’re thrilled to announce The Mall has been awarded the “We’re Good To Go” official rubber stamp, reassuring shoppers the centre adheres to Government and public health guidance around COVID-19.

"I’d like to thank everyone involved for their continued hard work to make sure The Mall remains safe to the public.”

The scheme has been developed in partnership with Visit England, Tourism Northern Ireland, VisitScotland and Visit Wales to ensure a standard-led approach across the UK with input from more than 40 industry bodies.

Alongside the industry standard, Visit Britain have also launched a ‘Know Before You Go’ public information campaign to reassure visitors as restrictions are lifted by checking about what it is safe to do and when and sign-posting to information about destinations and available services before travelling.

A traffic light system currently operates at The Mall, providing shoppers with a guide on how busy the centre is using footfall technology to manage capacity and instigate green, amber or red alerts.

The centre has also introduced a one-way system, installed sanitiser stations, implemented an enhanced deep cleaning regime throughout the centre and at key touchpoints, including toilets and baby chance facilities.
