Civic leaders in a seaside town have emphasised again that it is closed to visitors despite the government starting to relax lockdown rules.

Hastings Borough Council leader Kim Forward said the town has one of the lowest infection rates in England, and they want to maintain it.

She said: “So, for now our amenities will stay closed. We want to keep Hastings safe and these cannot just be empty words, they must be backed up by actions.

"Opening our amenities will encourage more people to visit and will lead to increased risk of infection.

“Although the government has changed their message, we have not. Our message to residents is still stay safe and stay home as much as possible to save lives.

"We know people will go out for exercise, but people must keep social distancing and washing their hands when they return home.”
