Play your part in tackling the virus
With hot and sunny weather this weekend, we want you to enjoy our outdoor open spaces and support our local businesses.
It’s important that, whatever you do, you do it safely:
- Keep your distance from other people
- Wear a face covering whenever possible (note the change in the law above)
- Wash your hands as often as possible
- Take hand sanitiser with you.
- Don’t forget the sun cream (and a hat)!
