Covid 19: Roadmap for Easing Lockdown – Harbour Use (Leisure)

On Monday 22^nd February, the Prime Minister set out the roadmap out of lockdown, with guidance for businesses on when we can reopen. The roadmap is in four steps. Before taking the next step, the Government will assess the impact of previous steps. This assessment is based on 4 tests:

The vaccine deployment programme continues successfully
Evidence shows vaccines are sufficiently effective in reducing hospitalisations and deaths in those vaccinated
Infection rates do not risk a surge in hospitalisations which would put unsustainable pressure on the NHS
Assessment of the risks is not fundamentally changed by new variants of concern

ROADMAP STEP 1
FROM 8^th MARCH

You should stay at home and only leave home for the permitted purposes set out in Government guidance.
You will be allowed to spend time in outdoor public spaces for recreation on your own, with one other person, or with your household or support bubble. This is in addition to outdoor exercise which is already permitted.
You must continue to maintain social distance from those outside your household and there should be no household mixing indoors (includes cabin/below deck).

Local boating and other water sport activities are permitted, but only if conducted in accordance with the above rules.

The Harbour Office reception will remain closed to the public. Please contact us by email at info@lymingtonharbour.co.uk or call 01590 672014.

FROM 29^th MARCH

The ‘stay at home’ rule will end on the 29^th March but you must minimise travel where possible.
You will be allowed to spend time in outdoor public spaces with up to six persons or two households.
Outdoor sports facilities will also be allowed to reopen, and people will be able to take part in formally organised outdoor sports.
You must continue to maintain social distance from those outside your household and there should be no household mixing indoors (includes cabin/below deck).

Local boating and other water sport activities are permitted, but only if conducted in accordance with the above rules. Overnight stays are not permitted.

The Harbour Office reception will be open to the public for the purchase of slipway launch permits (one in one out basis). Other customers are asked to contact us by email at info@lymingtonharbour.co.uk or call 01590 672014.
