LOCKDOWN rules continue to cause confusion for residents, particularly with regards to dog walking.
Government guidance issued by the Cabinet Office following the announcement of the third national lockdown last week states staying at home is ‘the single most important action’ to take in order to protect the NHS.
People can however leave their homes for exercise with their household (or support bubble) or one other person. This should be limited to once per day and people should not travel outside their local area.
The guidance dictates if leaving home, then to stay local, meaning staying in ‘the village, town or part of the city where you live’.
