Pretty silly to cut towns in half though, right? Just makes it look arbitrary, and increases the chances people will ignore it. Bit similar to putting out a map with shaded areas that show areas that were considered for lockdown, but then not included. People are going to question it, but only because you've given them something that invites questions.
Zear0 Posted 30 June 2020 Posted 30 June 2020 I'd like to think PHE are comparing number of tests undertaken against positive results. Not sure they're that daft to just look at net results. Not buying the cause is due to greater testing one bit.
MonmoreStef Posted 30 June 2020 Posted 30 June 2020 Just had a drop out for our ten seater to Notts on Saturday if anyone’s interested. Got a couple of Notts County shirts and notts Rugby shirt sorted, so as to not give our Leicester link away.
UniFox21 Posted 30 June 2020 Posted 30 June 2020 People envious of those around the country being able to visit the pub, you really won't be missing out on much. My mate works in the local to me and the systems put in place are going to be strict and it's not going to be anything how you imagine. I can't imagine it'll be an enjoyable experience.

Yes of course but in the middle of LFE which is not exactly a massive place is it. Anyway don’t know why I’m moaning I’m on the right side of the bridge.

Paninistickers Posted 30 June 2020 Posted 30 June 2020 What an absolute strawman this whole thing is. I live the 'wrong side' over the line in occupied Glenfield literally a 300 meter footpath walk to 'vichy' Anstey. The real need was/is a total lockdown in the affected postcode areas, but they daren't do it. So instead cook up this half arsed nobody gives a toss lockdown On another note, my kids school seemed rather too enthusiastic for my liking to close down. Email sent last night.

Hammo Posted 30 June 2020 Posted 30 June 2020 Soulsby says the city ‘should stick together’. Hardly an appropriate phrase for a community that needs to socially distance.
urban.spaceman Posted 30 June 2020 Posted 30 June 2020 Reactions to this seem to range from "Well dey should of leaned english then shouldnt they!??!!??!?!!??!", to "some people are just ignorant and don't think the rules apply to them", and wanting to scream RACIST at Ratilal Govind but not sure how to do it effectively what with him inconveniently being Asian.
CosbehFox Posted 30 June 2020 Posted 30 June 2020 Has there any more detail release yet other than:- - Boundary around the city plus other areas - Schools closed from Thursday - Non-essential retail closed immediately Awfully vague - no details about expectations regards work (is it just key workers or more), no details about bubbles, no details about travel

davieG Posted 30 June 2020 Posted 30 June 2020 This is the official map which has just been released by the county council. The area inside the red line is the affected area. LeicestershireLive has made repeated requests for more detail about the areas where the restrictions will apply. Glenfield, Oadby and Birstall were all said to be included last night but details of the areas affected were otherwise lacking until now. All the air The areas of Leicestershire included in the localised lockdown are: In Blaby District: • Braunstone Town (including Fosse Park) • Glenfield • Glen Parva • Leicester Forest East (East of the M1) • Thorpe Astley In Charnwood: • Birstall • Thurmaston All areas of Oadby and Wigston. The county council says it is working on a postcode checker for those who live on borders and are unsure. As a result of a huge spike in cases, non-essential shops have closed, and from Thursday schools will return to teaching the children of key workers only. Pubs, restaurants, hairdressers and other businesses due to open this weekend won't now be able to. Last night it was revealed that the lockdown will cover not just the area within the city boundaries but also some areas just outside them. Nick Rushton, leader of Leicestershire County Council, said: “Protecting residents is our main concern and we’re working closely with Leicester City Council and the Government to bring down the number of cases. “Clearly coronavirus does not adhere to lines on a map. And although county rates are below the national and regional averages, we can’t be complacent and it makes sense to step up restrictions in areas closer to the city. “This is the first localised lockdown on this scale and undoubtedly there will be issues to iron out." "I understand this is disappointing news for residents, parents of schoolchildren and businesses when most of the country is opening back up but it’s crucial that people follow the latest advice. "Observing social distancing, handwashing, wearing a face mask where required and getting tested if you have symptoms remain vital." “Our actions play a key role in shaping what happens next and I encourage people to heed the advice and play their part in helping to save lives and livelihoods.” City mayor Sir Peter Soulsby said: “These measures are stricter than we anticipated but we understand the need for firm action. I am determined that we will make this work and to minimise the time these additional measures need to be in place in the city. “We will of course continue to play our part in keeping people in the city safe and healthy.”
RobHawk Posted 30 June 2020 Posted 30 June 2020 Leicester is the guinea pig for localised lockdowns. The End

filbertway Posted 30 June 2020 Posted 30 June 2020 4 minutes ago, Mickyblueeyes said: What the ****. You can’t make this shit up There wouldn't be any deaths for another 2 weeks would there? 3/4 weeks to see deaths from infection is about right isn't it. So it'll be interesting to see if there's an increase in deaths between 6th-13th july

The End Maybe but if the case numbers of 10% national cases are correct then fair enough, it’s just late again. For anyone heading on holiday soon, I’ve already heard of an instance where a camp site doesn’t want anyone from Leicester coming.
