The owner of a Leicester-based funfair operator, which has been running for more than a century, says continued uncertainty caused by coronavirus restrictions is a huge threat to their business.

Billy Bates, of Billy Bates & Sons, said the company has never faced a more difficult time across six generations.

"I've never known any stories from my parents or great-grandparents where things like this have happened – even during the war," said Mr Bates.

Mr Bates added he fears the lucrative summer season is under threat.

Kennedy Bates, who works on the fair, said not knowing when they can reopen is "fuelling anxiety".

Plans of how to operate a socially distanced funfair are being drawn up, but Kennedy is concerned it could make the experience less enjoyable.

"I worry that a little bit of the magic is going to go and that is a concern for me," he said.

Beth Dawson - general manager for the park – said there will be additional safety measures and staff will be making sure everywhere is disinfected.

“Even if we have quite a large volume of people on site at any one time, we've got nearly 4,000 acres and a range of footpaths so people can spread out and enjoy a large green space without feeling like they're in close contact with other groups of people,” she said.

Twenty police forces across England, Scotland and Wales caught people driving in excess of 100mph during the first three weeks of the coronavirus lockdown, an investigation has found.

The findings, by the RAC on 30 police forces, included a motorist in Derbyshire who was travelling at 108mph on a section of the M1 where the limit was 40mph.

The RAC said the data is "truly shocking".

Road safety spokesman Simon Williams said: "Some drivers have taken advantage of quieter roads to speed excessively, putting the lives of others at risk at the worst possible time."

Department for Transport figures show that road traffic was about two-thirds lower than normal for the first few weeks after the lockdown, when people were urged to stay at home and avoid non-essential travel.

Darren Styne said he and his partner changed their minds and decided to not send their son back to school due to concerns about social distancing guidelines.

"Part of the problem, for me, was that he couldn't play with the other children, and would be expected to sit by himself, two metres apart from another child," Mr Styne, from Derbyshire, said.

"You can’t tell a kid not to go play with their friends."

Mr Styne said he considered the school's advice to be "spot on", but a letter saying that children breaking social distancing measures repeatedly could be excluded made him "uncomfortable".

"We would feel better if we had inclusive groups of four or five kids that they could interact with. I feel like it will be [like that] after the summer holidays, so in September we will review sending him back to school."

One father said he was not "worried" about his children going back to school.

Gurpreet Dhinsa's children Jeevan, 6, and Nirvar, 5, returned to Chellaston Infant School, earlier today.

"I wasn't at all worried about them going back," he said.

"No one in the family is vulnerable.

"The kids were getting sick and tired of the same surroundings.

"The government has scientific backing for that, we need to start thinking about a route to some normality otherwise we'll be stuck in a rut for months or years."
