'Use common sense and make reasonable adjustments' when visiting Lincolnshire coast

Cllr martin hill

Joint statement from Councillor Martin Hill, Leader of Lincolnshire County Council and Councillor Craig Leyland, Leader of East Lindsey District Council.

"Whilst we are slowly opening up our east coast to visitors, we have to stress that we are a long way away from returning to normal.

"Not all shops and businesses are opening just yet and we are asking people to use common sense and make reasonable adjustments when they visit.

"With pubs and restaurants opening this weekend, we understand people will want to celebrate the easing of restrictions but we are urging people to drink responsibly, respect social distancing and keep safe.

 "It is also the time of year when traditionally we have welcomed many guests from the Leicester area and it is with great sadness that we know for the time being that they are in a Covid-19 localised lockdown.

"We want to reassure our residents that we are doing all we can to keep everyone safe and in line with the government guidance. Residents from Leicester and the suburbs have been told to stay at home where possible and only undertake essential travel to, from and within Leicester.

"Those who had planned a visit to the coast are being advised to talk with the respective caravan site or hotel in order to rebook their visit.

"We are also asking pub licensees, hotel and caravan site owners to be vigilant but also to be flexible in rebooking alternative dates for those from the Leicester lockdown."
