    Council leader Daren Hale said people using all the city's businesses had to behave "appropriately and responsibly".

    It comes as the Euro 2020 tournament kick-off is expected to bring more fans to venues in Hull.

    The easing of restrictions on 17 May allowed venues to reopen indoors as well as outside.

    Rachel Stephenson, head of public protection at Hull City Council, said: "One of the biggest challenges businesses face is managing customers who fail to respect guidelines and the systems that have been put in place."

    Mr Hale warned customers: "We all need to play our part" in order to keep stricter restrictions at bay.

    The final stage of lifting lockdown in England is due to take place no earlier than 21 June, external. A decision is expected on Monday.

    There have been 80 new coronavirus cases in Hull in the seven days up to 6 June. This is a rate of 30.8 per 100,000 of the population - an increase of 43% on the previous week.

    Hull City Council said it was working with the Health and Safety Executive to visit and support local businesses.

    Anyone who believes that a venue is failing to implement appropriate measures or act responsibly can contact the council's Public Protection Team, it said.

    The aim of the scheme is to secure a "prosperous working harbour, champion fishing heritage and create a must visit destination for hospitality, leisure and events," the council claims.

    Councillor Janet Jefferson said: "The harbour and pier area play a critical role in Scarborough’s local economy, with strong links to the fishing and hospitality industries.

    "We want to develop a scheme which supports and helps these industries to grow, while at the same time creating a destination that becomes the focal point for leisure activity and events within South Bay."

    Plans include new pier entrance kiosks, refurbishment of the listed building on the pier to include improved artists’ studios, refurbishment of the harbour offices and fish market buildings and an improved and larger cafe or restaurant space.

    The cost of the Scarborough Harbour West Pier regeneration scheme is being met by £5m from the government’s Towns Fund while the council is contributing £1.5m.

    It's hoped work on the scheme will start in autumn next year and be completed in the summer of 2024.
