People going back to a shopping centre in Solihull are being warned there will be limits on how many people are allowed in at a time when it reopens.
From Monday, about two-thirds of stores at the Touchwood Centre will be open on the day non-essential shops are allowed to reopen.
Manager Tony Elvin told the BBC they've made changes to allow people to social distance including one-way systems and restricting how many people are in the centre at any one time.
"I'm sure people will come back. I think people will be nervous, remember how we felt when we first went into a supermarket during lockdown and there will be some nervousness but hopefully the procedures we've put in place will help people feel safe," he added.
John Collins says he will not have a cull of Facebook friends - even if some used to racially abuse him years ago.
