Coronavirus guidelines on travel should be changed to"stay local", Dorset's two council leaders have urged.
Dorset and Bournemouth Christchurch and Poole councils warned crowds could lead to a rise in Covid-19 cases. In a statement, Dorset Council leader Spencer Flower said there had been"extremely disappointing behaviour" by members of the public at beaches in the county.Media playback is unsupported on your deviceMr Flower said:"My plea to the government is to review the unrestricted travel guidelines currently in place and require people instead to 'stay local'".
Are they looking to limit movement from high R areas to low? or vice versa ?
The more I see of this, the more it makes me wonder how humans ever got to the top of the food chain. Sad, depressing and inevitable.
Telephoto lense, foreshortening, optical illusion.
Gobsmacked how crazy Brits are as restrictions ease slightly the public take it as ‘let’s go back to normal’. Most shocking is the youth (18-26) & Asian communities. Just observed shocking scenes in Suffolk with these two groups this week. Zero distancing and big groups 12-40
Angel2EU 10 mile radius from your own home ,would make more sense
Exactly please stay home!!!!
I see TyphoidDom is still spreading his cloud of corruption and death. notmovingontildomsgone
I would like to stay in my local but it's been shut since March.
What's the matter with people?! Why the hell would you want to go anywhere & be packed in like sardines?! Absolutely zero common sense!!! And where are they all going to the loo?!
They want people back at work so employees and employers can carry the financial and virus burden🐓
They lie. We die. Thank you for voting conservative.
They can change whatever they want... unless it’s law it’s not enforceable. Advice is just advice.
bbc5live When the weather changes this week the numbers will drop
As much as I would love to go to the beach with my family, I know this is wrong.70-80 mile drive to our nearest is not acceptable . Just close ALL beaches and stop people travelling 100s of miles. Impose fines. I honestly think that we are a laughing stock to rest of Europe.
Should have done that in the beginning
Another u turn...😂😂😂
Cobblers stay local plebs if you live in an inner city. That’s the usual selfishness from coastal and countryside dwellers
They must put a limit on travel 5miles unless emerg like hospital
How can you catch a virus, out In the sunshine with the sea breeze? This is hype. We’re allowed to go where we want. People are literally fighting against their own freedoms & basic human rights! 🤦🏻♀️These are the real “COVidiots” If you’re so terrified, you’re free to stay home.
It's not a fuckin holiday
And form a previous tweet. All these people Flocking to the beaches and other places. Are also do not want to go to work or send their kids to school. Incase they might catch covid. Lockdown has been a mockery. The government stop relatives going to funerals. Yet allow this
Well, how does that fit their agenda?
Government what fuckin government. Who is governing all of us.
That should have been the case all along. Why wasn't it? Perhaps because the Cummings Chaos was coming towards the Conservatives.
With football soon to return, this chant suddenly seems very apt. You don’t know what you’re doing You don’t know what you’re doing
10DowningStreet Yes, please, change it to stay local. I'd like to visit mt local beach but it is starting to get too busy now.
Only worried because of the MSM hysterical headlines day after day
The lockdown is over. Time to stop the bleating
All the time whatever they say remains as 'advice' it will make bugger all difference anyway, either make it law or don't complain or act surprised when nobody does it.
That would fair enough, serves the weekends morons right
What’s the definition of local
Too late, there is no going back. And We will not see a spike in the numbers.
It’s too late now. The damage has and is already being caused with all the relaxation and changes 😢
10DowningStreet Government urged to stand with the public and not the Media! Even the president of the United States is making the world aware of the Fake Main stream Media. Come on Boris Man up BorisJohnson
Local is what 260 miles ish? We arn't moving on from Dominic, neither should the BBC.
bbc5live Should be 30 miles max
This gov just opened their own tinderbox wider attracting the virus inviting them to attack the most vulnerable, it seems Mr. Boris, his chancellor concerns more 4 themselves fearing the economy is collapsing, its already on the verge of collapsing well b4 Covet19...
Don’t be silly. They need people spending money on petrol!!! 😏
back_the_BBC Far too late. Half the countryside and coast has been massacred over the last 2 weeks. I have given up trying to understand the morons of this country. We don’t deserve the planet and this virus is the result of our utter disregard for nature.
I do not support the lack of social distancing at the beaches, although it shows the frustration with the restrictions. Hope that this was just a spike and general people will follow WHO advice regarding the 2m rule and hand cleaning.
Those guy on the beach safer than the supermarket fact!
Dorset is Closed !
Tooo fucking late now!
bbc5live When it came out,knew it was big mistake. Yes more than 1 hour,ok, but not far.
You mean the Welsh Government are right?
I invested $200 with mr Nes vquez within a short period of time 7days i go back $5,500 i didn't believe this at first, all to you Sir, i appreciate your work👇👇👇dm him. vqueznes
Yeah... That's going to happen... You would struggle to I'mplement this as much as another lockdown..
Or better yet to ‘stay indoors’.
We're in the process of setting up sniper positions where I live. Not local goodbye.
Enact the Royston Vasey protocol
Too late, there are rampaging crowds of twats everywhere
Our thick as planks government ministers didn't anticipate this despite being told!
Seems such a simple but effective measure and many other countries have introduced a ban on travelling more than a certain distance from home. Why hasn’t it been done? Too many govt members with ‘circumstances’?
A knee jerk reaction to a tsunami of people which should have been anticipated when lock down was lifted. Dorset belongs to the people of England and not just a lucky few who live here. The BCP Council is setting visitors and locals at odds and creating a bad atmosphere.
Fake suggestive news.
Peoples advice. Sack Cummings
This government are far too arrogant to admit a mistake and back track they will hold out blame the public then make a change
And the south west R rate is highest in the country. We are all staying indoors!!
Are people thick on here stop local full stop
Why don't the government fuck off with advice they're causing nothing but death through mental health issues the sooner they end this lockdown and anti-social distancing the better
It's bloody obvious then if there's an out break you can pin point it easy.
back_the_BBC It should never have been anything else but that wouldn’t suit the Cummings narrative.
Does that apply to your staff So glad to see a sports journalist outside Newcastle racecourse, essential viewing!!
Unless you want to go to Durham! Why on earth will anyone listen to this bunch of incompetent idiots is beyond me.
So telling people they could drive anywhere for exercise wasn't a good idea after all?
If they do, Cummings will be in trouble.
So 250 mile jaunts banned then? * * Does not apply to senior Tories or their cronies.
😂😂😂😂
It won’t be Cummings who will cause a second lockdown , just look at all the pictures of the crowds this weekend not social distancing.
It makes no sense to link people jumping off cliffs to social distancing measures. Might aswell just close off all beaches and cliffs forever and watch the the local economy collapse.
The government will never allow themselves to loose face, they would rather put the lives of the public at risk than admit they have made a mistake. This is just an extension of the Cummings debacle, more will suffer as a result of their contempt for the people of this country
Well Dorset County Council is set to close its Beaches, and so they should
Too late!
Good luck, hope you have fewer muppets than we’ve got over here... This was yesterday- a 3000 people rave in Berlin 🙄
BBC doing its best to re-impose lockdown
Change it to 'Be omnipresent'.
Too late for that. Thanks to the shambolic way the PM and government handled the Cummings fiasco, a significant proportion of the public is no longer listening to them.
Tbh. It was bleeding obvious that that should have been the advice. It’s what happened in Spain and Italy.
The government have blown it.
What if I want to go from Derby and visit London for an eye test, with my family in the car seeing as they can join me for the eye test?
Just tell people to stay indoors. Jesus fucking Christ.
bbc5live Bernard castle incident means lockdown finished 2 weeks ago - wrongly but our politicians have let us down - we should be in lockdown until June now numbers are finally in the right direction
So will this mean everyone stay local or just everyone except DominicCummngs ? Just asking for a friend !!
Too late. The government have lost the changing room.
No people of this generation should not be stupid and use there common sense not the GOV holding there hand !!
Just like nicolasturgeon says!
I think the advice was keep a safe distance when you get where your going
bbc5live i think they were all just 'testing their eyesights' by driving to the beach. no law against that. ;)
What on earth did they expect? Closed loos so people are using the beach, yuk🐀
