Durham police advice before the weekend of the Barnard Castle journey
Police are asking motorists to respect government advice

Shame none of the journalists at yesterday's news conference had that in front of them...especially this bit -
"Overall, the majority of people are adhering to the guidance, however there are a few who still seem to think this doesn’t apply to them."
IMHO the trip to Barnard Castle was a jolly for his wife's birthday and he had the "misfortune" to be spotted by a busy-body type, hence he came up with the ludicrous story about testing his eyesight.
If his physical presence in Downing Street was so essential and he had any doubts about his fitness to drive, why did he not ask for an official vehicle to collect him? If he's so important to the Government surely that wouldn't have been too much trouble?
Whatever the rights and wrongs of his actions in travelling to Durham, once there, his family had to use both the local Ambulance service and hospital emergency dept, placing an extra burden on the local NHS. Wasn't that a key reason behind the Stay Home, Protect the NHS, Save Lives slogan?
Remind me again who wrote that slogan....
