| Good afternoon everyone, Phase 1 of the lockdown easing is in full swing. Some families have seen each other for the first time in nearly three months, while some sports such as tennis and golf are now back on the cards. Garden centres are also reopening, while people are now allowed to sit and sunbathe in nearby parks and travel to somewhere local for recreation. There should be no more than eight people in a group at a time, and people should limit meetings to just one other household in a given day. Ahead of the weekend, take a moment to familiarise yourself with what you can and can't do here>>> One more thing... We appreciate all your support in helping to keep local journalism on its feet.
