Which tier after lockdown?

I'm in South Gloucestershire, DS1 in North Somerset and DS2 in Bristol.

All three are tier 3

I meant to add in my comment that I'm pleased my daughter and granddaughter who live near Warrington are now down to Tier 2. However, I will still not be able to see them here in Cornwall to celebrate my birthday next month.

Tier 2 in Buckinghamshire, but it still means the 2 small WI get togethers, 6 at a time, for a Christmas celebration will have to be cancelled. Perhaps we could meet up for a Cream Tea at one of our many cafes in town, or the local Garden Centre.

I do realise that we are the lucky ones, as in Tier 3 I think the cafes/restaurants are closed.

^I live in Torbay, Devon which is in Tier 2, but Cornwall is on Tier 1, which will be interesting for folk who need to cross the Tamar for any reason.^
That's ok Ashcombe, you could be down in Looe or Polperro for lunch with 5 friends within an hour and then drive back after!
I can see the Cornish putting up barricades!

Tier 1 - Cornwall

Considering the county gets about 4 million visitors a year, and even though there probably weren't quite that amount this year, Cornwall still in Tier 1.

Having low COVID numbers isn't a result of having only one border.

We were in tier 2, going up to 3. What is puzzling is that Boston`s figures just before lockdown were 64 in 100,000, so how have the altered so quickly? And the very same people who flout the rules will continue to do so, therefore lockdowns don`t really solve anything.

Was tier 1 lowest rates in country yesterday - South hams- now in tier 2.

Tier 3 not surprising it’s the north east and I knew we would be penalised and forgotten again.

I used to be 3 but now am 2!

I am hopping mad, we in North Somerset have been put into Tier 3. Our rates are falling dramatically so by December 3rd we should be quite low yet we will go into 3 without a review until Dec 16th. Noted that where Rees Mogg lives is in Tier 2 .

There’s a plan that made me giggle, Ellianne!

Tier 3 again. I live in a rural area with few cases, but the towns have been hit badly - one of which I work in. Am on the border with a Tier 2 area which is where we shop and OH works.

Quite surprised to be in Tier 2, having been in Tier I in a low incidence rural area. But we are near to an area where the Rate is increasing, and people from here commute for work, health and education, so fair enough. At least most of us are all in it together now.

I live in a fairly rural part of Warwickshire, tier 1 before lockdown, figures have dropped during lockdown and our district has the lowest numbers in the whole of the County, and yet now we find ourselves in tier 3, all because some of the more built up towns which are nowhere near us have higher numbers, very frustrating.

It’s not just about the infection rate though is it - it’s also about what they called human geography I think - patterns of travel for work, leisure, education. Also taking into account NHS resources in the nearest hospitals. Tbf to the govt, they can’t do this at too micro a level and there will be what seem like odd decisions. It’s better than across the board national rules.

Travel between Tier 1 and 2 does not appear to have any restrictions. If Tier 3 is involved the guidance is stricter as you would expect.

I meant tier 2 of course.

Keeping London in tier 3 is down to economics and possibly who lives there.
We’re in tier 3 with a lower rate than many London boroughs.

Our borough has continued to climb in lockdown and we're now in tier 2 after lockdown which makes no sense to me at all.

It’s interesting that London is Tier 2 with a higher rate per 100,000 than Greater Manchester which is in Tier 3. Equally, deciding tiers according to counties doesn’t take into account Tertiary authorities.

Interesting point....I used to have to cross the Tamar every day to work.

We were in tier 1 before and now tier 2.

North Lancashire here, close to Blackburn and Darwen so stuck in Tier 3

Thanks suziewoozie wondered what the criteria were.

We are in Bath & NE Somerset but close to the boundaries with Bristol and North Somerset in tier 3. Wherever you draw the line it will be inappropriate for some and I don’t think our lives will change much, though I am sorry not to be able to have friends in for a cup of tea occasionally.

There will be a reappraisal in two weeks so things may change for some. I can’t imagine how you can plan to run any sort of hospitality business and feel so sorry for anyone in that industry; the uncertainty will affect not only the premises but also the supply chain. I fear for so many entrepreneurs whose thriving businesses will go under through no fault of theirs.

I was tier1 now tier2 and it’s horrible because there is still nothing going on here but fifty miles away in ‘our area’ there is so we re now all lumped together
The bit that annoys me is I now cannot have a restaurant meal with two of my friends and as all three of us live alone we were looking forward to a meal together before Christmas
But it’s ok to be with 14 others over Christmas makes no sense whatsoever

Tier 3, as before.
