North Yorkshire Ready for Lockdown Easing but Consideration is Required

There's a call for people to be considerate and to keep making sensible decisions when lockdown restrictions are eased on Monday.

No doubt most of us are looking forward to the easing of lockdown restrictions on Monday.

But there's a reminder from leaders in North Yorkshire that the dangers from COVID haven't passed and not everyone has been vaccinated.

Richard Webb is the County Council's director of health and adult services, he's asking us all to be considerate when we head out and about from Monday.

As the Yorkshire Coast prepares for the easing of lockdown restrictions there is also a warning that COVID is still here and flare ups are still possible.

However, Richard Webb thinks both the authorities and the public will be able to cope with any issues.

From Monday, changes will include pubs, bars, cafés and restaurants being able to serve customers indoors. Venues such as cinemas and play areas will be able to open, as will hotels, hostels and B&Bs. Up to six people or two households will be able to meet indoors. Restrictions on meeting outdoors will be lifted, although gatherings of more than 30 people will remain illegal.
