    Southport will be among places in the UK which will see new restrictions coming into place in order to stop the recent rise in Covid-19 cases.

    MP Damien Moore has already spoken with Health Minister Helen Whately to raise concerns among local people and businesses.

    The Southport MP said: “I have asked Helen Whately that the Government ensures that the right balance is struck between protecting people, while also protecting local businesses and ensuring that financial support for local authorities including Sefton Council will be forthcoming.

    “I welcome the Government's pledge to provide an additional £7million funding to the local authorities to support areas affected.

    “Cases in Southport and across the Liverpool City Region have unfortunately been rising over recent weeks and it is vital that action is taken now to ensure that those figures are brought down as soon as possible.

    “It is also important that the measures brought in are proportionate. No-one wants to see a return to the days in March and April where a complete lockdown was in place with huge numbers of businesses and schools shut.

    “We now all have our part to play in bringing down these cases.

    “Please follow the new rules which are coming into place in our area. Please ensure you wash your hands regularly and well. Please wear a face covering when required to do so. Please maintain social distancing where you can.

    “While taking these new precautions please also continue to attend work, or school, and continue supporting our local businesses in Southport.

    “Thanks to the hard work and sacrifice of everyone earlier this year, we have already managed to bring down Covid-19 cases to a safe level once.

    “Through working collectively this time, we know we can do so again.”

    The new measures coming into force in the Liverpool City Region will be similar to those currently in place in the North East. They are due to come into force from one minute past midnight this Saturday (3 October, 2020).

    The new restrictions will include:

    No mixing between households other than outdoor public venues and outdoor hospitality

    No spectators for professional or amateur sports

    Essential travel only - meaning work or school

    People to only visit care homes in urgent circumstances

    The latest Covid-19 cases for Sefton which were released yesterday showed that, in the seven days to September 27, Sefton’s rate of Covid-19 infections was 182.0 per 100,000, with 503 new cases, making Sefton the 13th highest in the UK.

    This was a rise in the previous week’s figures from 121.9 cases per 100,000, with 337 new cases.

    The comparable cases for Liverpool, the third highest in the UK, are: Liverpool 258.4 (1,287), 198.4 (988).

    Health Secretary Matt Hancock told Parliament earlier: “We recommend against all social-mixing between people in different households.

    “We will bring in regulations, as we have in the North East, to prevent in law social mixing between people in different households in all settings except outdoor public spaces like parks and outdoor hospitality.

    “We also recommend that people should not attend professional or amateur sporting events as spectators in the areas that are affected.

    “We recommend that people only visit care homes in exceptional circumstances and there will be guidance against all but essential travel. Essential travel, of course, includes going to work or school.”

    Health Secretary Matt Hancock told the House of Commons earlier today that a number of new restrictions will be coming into place in Sefton and across the Liverpool City region, as well as in Warrington, Hartlepool and Middlesbrough, in order to reverse the recent rise in Coronavirus cases, while also ensuring the viability of local businesses and local schools.

    Mr Hancock also revealed a £7million package of support for local authorities including Sefton Council to help them support local communities such as Southport through the new measures.

    If it's essential travel only, how come you're still allowed to go to 'outdoor hospitality', which presumably means travelling to seating areas outside pubs?

    My reading is that "essential travel only" relates to Liverpool City Region only (from midnight 3/10/2020) and not to Southport.

    Of course I could be wrong it is getting too complicated. The sooner the 3 tier model is implemented nationwide the better.

    If you look at the thread on the forum, Southport is part of the Liverpool City Region!

    I heard on the radio how it was Merseyside including the Liverpool City region, so would include Southport, but, as you say, it’s getting too complicated!

    But no-one has dealt with my question.

    If it's 'essential travel' only, how is it that we can still go to 'hospitality' venues, i.e. pubs?

    10 hours ago the Daily Mail, also has Sefton and Liverpool as having different restrictions, so not so simple!

    The Daily Mail still thinks it's the 1950s, so 10 hours are neither here nor there.

    The point I'm making is that many on here are presumably supporters of the government, but they can't answer a simple question explaining 'simple' rules.

    So, do the rules mean that going to the pub, by whatever means, is essential travel? If not, why are the pubs still open?

    Walking is exercise and is therefore essential. So walk to and from the pub and walk off some of the calories consumed.

    I think you're making up the rule about walking - it says 'travel' doesn't it, and you seem to think that defining 'walking' as 'travel' is obtuse.

    Pubs were just an example.

    So if I live in, say, Crossens, and I want to go a furniture store to buy a suite, I walk and carry it back, do I? And if they deliver it, they're not allowed to come into my house are they?

    We're being told to keep the economy going, so does 'essential travel' cover my trip to the furniture store?
    Buying a suite is shopping an essential, when delivering it would be work not socialising so they can enter the premises however you all might end up getting £200 fines if you made them a brew.
    No travelling is banned it is just advised against.

    I also notice that Damian is saying that infection rates in Southport as well as Liverpool are rising but they won't publish the figures to enable us to make up our minds. For over a month we have been treated to news of figures from Wavertree and Riverside et al but all we get is Sefton not Southport or Formby, why do they not publish the figures, why are we being kept in the dark?

    Fully understand that this virus has and must be brought under control but could somebody explain why Southport is “lumped” in with Liverpool when all the boroughs of Great London are looked at on an individual basis and not as a whole. Different standards for the Southerners as usual. Why lump Southport with Scouseland
