People (and police) would find it a lot easier if the boundary was easier to understand, even if larger that "draw a line X miles from the city centre" or whatever they actually did.RevKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12369263214193333422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3993498847203183398.post-85169785693511311382020-07-06T10:12:34.145+01:002020-07-06T10:12:34.145+01:00The problem is that all LE postcodes would include...The problem is that all LE postcodes would include the whole of Leicestershire, not just Leicester itself. It's only really Leicester they need to lock down, not the whole of Leicestershire, so it's difficult to do either way.keithbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04697628463643129253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3993498847203183398.post-27375224063024664162020-07-05T23:58:59.789+01:002020-07-05T23:58:59.789+01:00I'd give up on the new blog site design / them...I'd give up on the new blog site design / theme / layout.

Local lockdowns necessarily have to be done on almost no notice, before the outbreak exponentiates beyond the target area: and the target area is necessarily somewhat subjective, but they have to draw a line *somewhere* or people on the edge would have no idea which rules to follow. Spending ages going through the list street by street making sure everything is pretty when the rules will probably expire in only a month runs completely counter to the point of them.<br /><br />Using a phone box as a boundary marker seems perfectly reasonable to me. You also can't have a big gathering in a phone box in Leicester city centre :)Nick Alcockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06590610308528769844noreply@blogger.com
