Calderdale reacts to tightened restrictions in lockdown

The news means will not be allowed to meet indoors across the borough as well as in individual gardens or meet with other people in pubs and restaurants.

Here is what readers had to say on the update:

Cee Jay: So not surprised or sympathetic. I visit Halifax regularly and have seen practically no signs of masks, social distancing and have observed a ‘you can’t tell me what to do’ attitude. You reap what you sow, Calderdale.

Bob Farr: Well good luck with enforcing that

Shazza B Bing: So as a key worker who is meant to care for my children when they can't go to grandparents and friends houses ???

Naz Mahmood: This is a load of rubbish, on one hand the gov are encouraging to Eat out and Help out scheme from Monday, but you cant visit your loved ones.

Brian Crossley: So the solution is to meet your family in a pub or restaurant where you can also meet as many people (strangers) as you like. Confusing.

Roy Sellars: Be nice if the government could reference BUBBLES in their statements

Julie Clough-Robinson: How do they know its from family been at each others houses that is causing figures to rise again ?

Judith Herron: So no more support bubbles back to months of loneliness then is it? already been lonely with living on my own

Laura Rice: It’s not visiting family that’s caused this it’s opening the pubs & restaurants ffs shut them down it all happened to early it was more than obvious this was going to happen!!

Kashif Rashid: When all other measure are given a few days notice. This shambles of a government give 3 hours notice on Eid Eve.

Cant wait to see what stunts they pull on xmas..... ‘you can go shopping but cant go to the shops’ is the type of message i wouldnt be suprised by
