23rd November 2020:

Currently we don’t know what tier will Coventry be in after lockdown. The government will announce on Thursday 26th November 2020 which tiers apply to Coventry and all other regions of England.

The new tier system was announced on the Monday briefings and has been published on the gov.uk website. The Coventry council website will also be updated with the latest information when announced.

Will Coventry be in Tier 2 again ?

Coventry entered lockdown under Tier two limitations. It implemented a restriction on families mixing indoors. It is expected that Coventry will return to a tier two system.

Tier 2 has received a grilling on social media over some of the regulations. Limits on household numbers and drinking in pubs remains however an event can contain 1000 people.

Am I getting this right? Under new Tier 2, up to a thousand people can gather indoors for a concert. Yet in restaurants, you can only mix in your ‘support bubble’. And you cannot have a drink at all in a pub or bar unless with a ‘substantial meal’? Please tell me I’m wrong

Someone explain the Tier 2 rule where you’re allowed 1000 people indoors for an event but you’re not allowed one other person from another household in your own indoors?

In other covid news, Zarah Sultana MP has raised the question over Coventry’s hospitals re-instating parking payments during another lockdown.

The Government said NHS staff wouldn’t have to pay for parking during the pandemic.

But charges have been reimposed at Coventry’s hospital & elsewhere.

My letter to the PM, demanding free parking is brought back & made permanent, backed by 42 MPs, trade unions & campaigners 👇🏽 pic.twitter.com/ZqJwtDYsOY
