Downham Market Town Council voted to extend the use of Phoenix Events (East) Ltd's service on Tuesday, January 12. A spokesperson said: "It was felt that as the pandemic was at its worst yet it would be a false economy to get rid of them. "The mayor Becky Hayes reported they are doing an excellent job handing out sanitiser and masks free of charge and in line with the Borough Council of West Norfolk and King's Lynn it was right to keep them at the moment."
