Photo by Sally Shillingford/Advertiser and Shuttle Camera Club THE leader of Wyre Forest District Council has urged the district s Christmas shoppers to avoid travelling to areas with higher infection rates like Birmingham and the Black Country. Councillor Graham Ballinger welcomed the news that Worcestershire will remain in tier two following the government s review, but said he understood many would be disappointed the county was not moved down to tier one like neighbouring Herefordshire. Cllr Ballinger said: I appreciate some will be disappointed we haven’t been dropped down into tier one but, with the number of positive Covid-19 cases continuing to increase over the last week, that was always going to be unlikely.

It was announced today (Thursday) that Worcestershire will remain in tier two for another two weeks at least following a government review, however the Prime Minister s plan to ease some restrictions over Christmas to enable families to see one another will go ahead. From next week, households will be able to form a bubble specifically for Christmas consisting of no more than three households.
So what are the Christmas bubble rules? The Christmas Bubble rules begin on December 23 and continue up to and including December 27.
