At least we’re still in tier 2 (for now) );
);
HENLEY and South Oxfordshire escaped being moved into the new tier 4 as the coronavirus restrictions were tightened.
The district remains in tier 2, meaning most shops and other businesses have been able to stay open this week for people still doing their Christmas shopping.
The exceptions included the Little Angel pub in Remenham Lane and Leander Club as they are in neighbouring Berkshire, which was among the areas across the South-East placed in the highest tier.
Even so, the planned relaxation of the rules have been cut to just Christmas Day and people are advised not to travel into a tier 4 area, except for those who have to travel to work or for education.
Singers to offer some good cheer );
SINGERS will be spreading festive cheer with several performances this weekend.
Socially distanced groups from Henley Choral Society will sing on the steps of the town hall at 1.30pm and 3.30pm tomorrow (Saturday) and outside Waitrose at 2.30pm.
The society has produced an online Christmas card video with popular carols.
Chairman Tim Wilson said: “It has been such a challenging year for everyone. We put on a free public orchestral summer concert at Mill Meadows, which was a resounding success, but have not been able to offer any of our usual choral music concerts.
