• I try not to care about what other people are doing, but went for my lunchtime walk yesterday over the park next to my house (Panshanger gravel pits / Mimram valley) and it was like early doors at a festival with queues at the gates between the fields and counted one group of 11 not even pretending to be seperate - assuming mum, dad, 3 of their grown up kids, partners and 3 kids and 4 dogs. I got really stressed out about it.

    Also, speaking to a freind working at Nero, local council have threatened to close them down if they can't stop people from gathering in the little square outside the shop (just them and greggs open) and want the staff to go out and disperse groups!? I've not seen a single pcso since Christmas. During lockdown 1.0 they were perched like hawks on the edge of every green space just waiting for someone to sit down.

  • As a business they can still contact their local councillors to ask for an explanation why shopkeepers are being tasked with enforcing public order.
    They could also lobby their local Ward police liason committee to get the pcsos to do their job.
