This is your daily round-up of news from the Lancashire Post
View email online | | | | | Nov 4, 2020 | | | | | | Good afternoon, Is he, isn't he? If you have been following the US election overnight you'll probably be quite tired - I wonder if they follow the Lancashire County Council elections quite so closely as we do Pennsylvania? So today marks the full final day before our national one month lockdown starts tomorrow. Although this is a slightly different affair, with schools remaining open and shops more prepared for demand, it's still expected to be a busy day for retail as shoppers try to fit everything in. Expect queues at the major retail parks and in town. There is really no need to panic buy however as essential shops seem well prepared but we will watch with interest. Meanwhile we are busy behind the scenes preparing a campaign to support local business through the lockdown. If you are offering online services please fill in your details on this online Google form and you will get a good blast of free publicity as part of it. TELL US ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS In news today, a government u-turn means Lancashire pubs WILL be allowed to sell beer online. Ambulance unions have warned the situation could get worse, after Monday night's 'major incident', And Lancashire is still one of the worst counties for disobeying lockdown rules. And this isn't in Lancashire but is worth a watch - a seagull playing football was just what we needed today. Yesterday I issued a plea to help support this business too by subscribing - please have a read. So the next time we chat we'll all be locked down. Sending good wishes to you and your family. Kind regards, Nicola ([email protected]) | |
