Dorset Chamber chief executive Ian Girling said: “The easing of lockdown restrictions today is another very welcome boost for businesses in the county on the long journey out of the pandemic.
“It is a milestone moment and many in the hard-pressed sectors of hospitality, leisure and tourism will be relieved to see it go ahead as planned.
“We can all play our part by supporting our local businesses as much as we can while keenly observing the remaining restrictions as we count down the days and look forward June 21.”
