So since I came home yesterday I saw this on FB.

I walked through a Witton car park on my way back home and around half a dozen cars were there, including a Dad with his approx. 8 year old daughter popping their bikes back in their car.
So they have completely closed access to the cemetery, which is adjacent to Witton and some public footpaths and they have closed the park car parks meaning that you must visit on foot.
It looks like this is a collaboration between police and local authority.
On what grounds?
This really is starting to get quite sinister as I've been in the park every day this week and I haven't once seen anyone appear to break the social distancing guidance.
Then this morning, I see that Stephen Kinnock MP visited his Dad yesterday to deliver some supplies, as part of his exercise. It's a short walk.
It also happened to be his Dad's 78th birthday.
So he sat away from the door and sang Happy Birthday to his Dad at a distance that looks around 3-4 metres and tweeted about it.
