A tale of two tiers: Lincolnshire and Northern (North and North East Lincolnshire) have been split from December 31. | Data: Gov UK / Map: Google / The Lincolnite
With Lincolnshire now in tier 4, but Northern (North and North East) Lincolnshire remaining in tier 3, it’s a confusing start for people living in areas around the county’s north border.
Tier 3 North East Lincolnshire shares a border with East and West Lindsey, with the latter two now under the same restrictions in tier 4 Lincolnshire. This means people must not travel between Lincolnshire and Northern Lincolnshire for non-essential reasons.
The government has issued guidance about what the different tiers mean, but that hasn’t stopped life getting more complicated for people, for example, who live in one tier but work or go to school in another.
