Over the bank holiday weekend it is essential that everybody continues to avoid non-essential travel and 鈥榮tay at home鈥�.听
By following this advice we can all 鈥榟elp protect the NHS and save lives鈥�.听
Most people are being considerate of others and are following this advice, however with the bank holiday approaching, there remains a risk that some people might attempt to congregate, in groups or in public open spaces.听
Areas in 天涯社区 where we have had reports previously of people congregating, including Wepre Park in Connah鈥檚 Quay, continue to be monitored by North Wales Police. The 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 remain closed as people have congregated there previously:
鈥� Dock Road, Connah鈥檚 Quay听
鈥� Flint Castle
鈥� Life Boat Station, Flint
鈥� Saltney Ferry Footbridge
鈥� Dock Road, Greenfield听
鈥� Gwaenysgor Viewpoint
The Lighthouse Car Park, Talacre has also been closed by the proprietor.
Public open spaces and footpaths should be used responsibly and social distancing should be observed at all times when exercising. When out on your bicycle, walking the dog, or going for a walk or run, remember to 鈥榮tay local鈥�.听
Please be considerate of the landowners over whose land paths pass when using Rights of Way and remember to;
