  3. Coronavirus: Woman 'safer in Greece than in Leeds'published at 13:01 British Summer Time 8 September 2020

    A West Yorkshire woman staying in Greece says she feels more comfortable in Crete than in the UK after the island was included in the UK's coronavirus quarantine policy.

    Crete

    Beth Maybury, 24, from Leeds said."We've felt 100% safer here than back in Leeds as all employees are wearing masks and areas are a lot less crowded.

    "Bars just seem a lot quieter, the hotel seems not even at half capacity, so there's plenty of room round the pool and there seems to be a lot more awareness in terms of masks too."

    Ms Maybury added: "We live near the White Rose shopping centre in Leeds, which has been heaving throughout with people ignoring social distancing measures while out shopping and going out to eat.

    "I've been nervous going out for food or drinks in the UK because it's too busy with no one following rules which is the opposite to how I feel here.

    "I've had to fly four hours to feel comfortable doing anything," she added.

    Charges were suspended at the beginning of the pandemic in a bid to support key workers and local businesses.

    Leader of Selby District Council, Councillor Mark Crane, says. “Although many other local authorities had already reintroduced parking charges across the county, we decided to continue to offer free parking.

    “With more people returning to workplaces and visiting our local towns and villages, traffic levels will continue to increase.

    "Reintroducing parking charges will allow us to ensure both short stay and long stay car parks have spaces available to as many people as possible," he added.

    The council says it's asking car park users to be respectful of others and maintain social distancing where possible.
