Background: The Prime Minister has this evening announced a National Lockdown for England.
The government has issued published guidance dated 4 January 2021 titled “National lockdown: Stay at Home – Coronavirus cases are rising rapidly across the country. Find out what you can and cannot do.”
The 22 pages of guidance can be found via this hyperlink “ National lockdown: Stay at Home“.
Of note the guidance says that although you can exercise in a public space, there is the specific instruction “Outdoor sports venues, including tennis courts, golf courses and swimming pools, must close.” Page 16
Therefore, sadly, until there is a relaxation in the government guidance the Belper Meadows Community Sports Club is closed for the playing of sport.
