  • Non essential businesses, Libraries etc in England can open from Monday 12th April as far as I'm aware. 
    I hate football and do wish people wouldn't keep talking about it like it's the most important thing in the world

    I located a nearby Tesco, but it wasn't clear if they printed documents as well as photos. So I phoned them up and got a disconnected line.
    I tried MBE, but they have a minimum charge of £10.
    I liked the idea of newsagents, and looked along some streets that I've never been before. I didn't see any newsagents with printing, but I did find a couple of small print shops.
    However, they had the same problem as MBE.
    My local library is NOT re-opening, but I'm going to see if there are any others nearby.

    I'd be very surprised if your authority has only one library in its entire footprint as there is a legal requirement to provide a library service, and one library to cover an entire metropolitan borough area sounds very unlikely.  Some smaller/less in demand libraries may not open yet but bigger/main ones may be as they have been able to open previously for "click and collect", though not everybody did this.

    I travelled to another library today, so have the prints I needed.
    Much cheaper at 40p than the £10 at a print shop.

    That looks like it's for businesses wanting a company to bulk send junk mail on their behalf.
