Lancashire families sent 'faulty' Covid support vouchers to buy food and essentials

Apr 6, 2021

Good afternoon,

How was your Easter weekend?

While the Arctic blast from the north meant it was quite chilly, I still managed to spend some time with family and friends in my garden.

And following Boris Johnson's announcement last night, we can now also look forward to restrictions being eased even further as the country takes another step forward in the government's roadmap next week.

Shopping, having your hair done, and enjoying a pint in a beer garden are just some of the things we will be able to enjoy again.

Rightly though, the PM has warned the country against complacency as England prepares for next step out of lockdown.

Take care, keeping following the latest guidance, and hopefully we'll all get through this next step as smoothly as we have so far with the first.

Have a great, safe week.
