“Stay vigilant and help us recover,” – this was the message from the North-East’s leaders after a sunny weekend saw crowds of people descend on popular visitor spots. The LA7 authorities said a number of locations across the region like parks, seasides and the Newcastle and Gateshead Quayside were busier at the weekend than earlier in the lockdown. In a statement, leaders representing Newcastle, Gateshead, Northumberland, North Tyneside, South Tyneside, Sunderland, and County Durham, urged residents to “continue to be vigilant.” This comes a week before schools start welcoming back pupils, the first stage of Boris Johnson’s ambitious “road map” out of lockdown.
