I drove for 30 miles to a local castle to test my eyes! Actually, I was taking my elderly mother to a doctors appointment.I hope that was an essential trip?

What are you implying? Yes ofcourse, people need to do their part! As do the government.Clearly, the people of Leicester have to do their part.
No, It's lock-down lite.Does that really class as me being locked down?
It's problematic as some suburbs 'blur' from one to another (ie. no real line of differentiation) but, the key issue is that people are free to travel around. There is no clarity on what a 'lockdown is' as only the non-essential businesses are closed. There are still as many vehicles moving around.Is that a problem?

Clearly, some areas have a 'peak' and these need a plan of action but, nothing from the government or the council. Therefore, if nothing changes during this period, I cannot see what will be the impact?

If they are following the guidelines then people should not be driving for non-essential journeys.
What are the lockdown rules in Leicester?
- All non-essential shops will close from Tuesday, which Mr Hancock said will be enforced by law this week
- Schools will close from Thursday and will not reopen until next term. However, they will stay open for vulnerable children and children of critical workers
- People should avoid all but essential travel to, from, and within Leicester and should "stay at home as much as you can"
- The planned easing of some restrictions in England on Saturday will not go ahead in Leicester. This means restaurants, pubs, cafes, hairdressers and cinemas will stay closed
- The relaxation of shielding measures on 6 July - which will allow the most clinical-vulnerable to spend more time outside - will not go ahead in the city
Or, is it best to bring in the army ?As I read it, you should not leave your small town to visit Leicester and the people of Leicester shouldn't visit your small town. You just have to rely on the good people of Leicestershire to follow the guidelines.

I think I'd rather follow the guidelines and stay at home.
I wish I could say I was shocked, but I'm not.
Full pillar 1+2 data is being shared w/ local public health bodies, so some health officials know what’s going on in different bits of the country, but this data is not shared with local councils, mayors, MPs, who’ve had to ask for it & wait weeks. Useless in fast-moving pandemic.
The rest of the public, whether it’s school governors, local business owners or journalists writing about the presence or absence of new outbreaks, are being fed data that is ultimately garbage, and the people publishing that data know it.
It's a wonder we even know what day it is to be honest.
It's a conscious decision by senior government to conceal the true state of the spread of the virus in the country, what other reason is there for withholding the data? The truth twisters post was frighteningly close to the mark
Did you see Hancocks BBC interview saying that the numbers of people being tested was meaningless?
I live in Leicester and fall just outside the lockdown border by 3 miles...surrounding us is a small town, also excluded by the lockdown with shops, pubs and restaurants.....is this statement not the most stupid thing ever written;-
Its not a rule, it’s guidance, there is absolutely nothing stopping those from infected areas coming to drink, eat and shop in other areas literally a few miles away....how on Earth is that supposed to be containing?
- People should avoid all but essential travel to, from, and within Leicester and should "stay at home as much as you can"
To be honest, this whole thing is turning in to an experimental circus, full of spin, deceit and self gain.....health is no longer the driving force on decision making, no matter what we are being told.
Hence, I’m staying in, not visiting pubs, shops or restaurants......because I do not trust the advice or the guidance and when we have things like second spikes, it’s all done in a haphazard way, with little thought for the local people or economy......Woolly decision making, confused society, coupled with increased poverty....wow the future looks pretty dreadful.
I don't see it like that. If having the army help the police and that makes 10,20 or 50% of the people flouting the guidelines think again isn't that a good thing?If we reach a situation where the army are on the streets, then we are basically fudged anyway.

PHE publish this info weekly in a spreadsheet, with summary and detailed PDF reports:Quite incredible thread showing the government have been sitting on data showing the true state of the increase of cases in Leicester. Only Tier 1 test results in the public domain but the Tier 2 results showing a 90% increase
It's not whack a mole when you hide the fact the mole's heads up then wait 2 weeks to hit it
