Stay at home this Easter
Published: 09/04/2020
Over the Easter bank holiday weekend it is essential that everybody follows the simple but important advice.听 Avoid non-essential travel and 鈥榮tay at home鈥�.听
By following this advice we can 鈥榟elp protect the NHS and save lives鈥�.听
A minority do not seem to be following this advice and, with a bank holiday approaching, there remains a risk that some people might attempt to congregate, in groups, in public open spaces.听
Areas in 天涯社区 where we have had reports of people congregating, including Wepre Park in Connah鈥檚 Quay, will be monitored by North Wales Police. The听 principal roads into and out of the County are also monitored and motorists can be stopped and questioned by the Police.
The following car parks have been closed as we have had reports of people congregating there:
- Dock Road, Connah鈥檚 Quay听
- Flint Castle
- Life Boat Station, Flint
- Saltney Ferry Footbridge
- Dock Road, Greenfield听
- Gwaenysgor Viewpoint
The Lighthouse Car Park, Talacre has also been closed by the proprietor.
Government advice says you can leave home only once-a-day for exercise. That could mean a bicycle ride, walking the dog, or going for a walk or run. Public open spaces and footpaths should be used responsibly and social distancing should be observed at all times. Remember to 鈥榮tay local鈥�.听
Rights of Way allow public access to their local countryside. Social distancing rules should be closely observed and people should be considerate of the landowners over whose land paths pass and;
- Go alone or with members of your household
- Be aware that gates, stiles and other outdoor structures are touched regularly - so follow hygiene guidance听
- Do not try new or risky activities - 鈥榮tay safe鈥櫶�
- Follow the Countryside Code - consider farmers and others who are working hard to keep our shop shelves stocked
Open disregard of these rules will leave the Council听 with no option but to temporarily close a path.
