When Tier 3 restrictions come into effect in Gedling borough at one minute past midnight tomorrow, they will be the most severe in England.

As well as the standard closure of hospitality venues which don’t serve a substantial meal – which is the case in all Tier 3 areas – there will also be closures of businesses which have been allowed to remain open elsewhere.

Unlike Liverpool, Manchester, and South Yorkshire, beauty salons and tattoo parlours will have to close. 

Restrictions on cafes will mean they are no longer allowed to offer teas and coffees, unless people are eating a main meal.

Shops will also be prohibited from selling alcohol after 9pm – a measure which has also not been seen elsewhere.

Asked about why the restrictions were more severe in Nottinghamshire than anywhere else currently in Tier 3, the leader of Nottingham City Council David Mellen said: “We heavily relied on the advice from our directors of public health in the county and in the city. 

“Yes I’m sure nail bars and other similar businesses are not happy, but we will obviously try to make sure the compensation package will take that into account. 

“There was a strong push from the directors of public health that we needed to have measures which were going to enable us to reduce the spread of the virus.”

  1. They need to send those students back home to their families they are the ones spreading the virus. They are unruly and destructive. We were fine until they returned now we are locked down again. Let their cities and parents deal with them. Because of money to the colleges and universities they run rampant while we stay home.

  2. How will this effect super markets in the area or business’s. people working at not just local places could be really effected.
