Advice from Gloucestershire's Director for Public Health answering questions from the public:
“The guidance around social distancing and the two metre gap is quite clear.
"We have had messages with some places closing their benches, putting tape across them. There is nothing wrong with having a park bench, if you are a members of the same family you can sit on the bench together, but if you’re not you have to keep two metre distance.
"This means if the bench is on its own, one person sits on the bench, one person has to stand two metres away.
“It is just about taking a practical, pragmatic approach to this whilst following the guidance.”
