SHOPPERS at the Westgate Centre will only be allowed to walk in one direction when shops reopen for good next week.
There will be a one-way system in place at the shopping centre and stickers on the floor will remind people to keep a two metre distance.
The Westgate Centre boasts 125 shops, of which most will be reopening next Monday – unless the government backtrack on plans to reopen all non-essential retail on June 15.
Bosses at the centre are expecting long queues at popular shops, which have now been closed for more than two months.

Hand sanitiser stations will also be propped up around the complex and all staff will be given masks and gloves.
The director of Westgate Oxford, Brendan Hattam, said: “Safety is our highest priority.
“We’re working hard to ensure we adhere to all government guidelines at Westgate and we will be taking a robust approach to cleanliness and hygiene.
“From 15th June, guests will be able to check which stores are open on our website and we will list FAQs there too. We’re looking forward to welcoming our guests back and will be fully compliant with government guidance at all times.”
