A council official has warned it is “absolutely critical to be responsible” after families were pictured tightly packed together in a park. Photos taken on Sunday - a day before it was announced England would go into a third lockdown - show a lack of social distancing in Oxhey Activity Park, with residents appearing to stand closer than two metres together. It comes as the new and more infectious strain of coronavirus continues to spread, with Watford’s infection rate nearing 1,000 cases per 100,000 population. Speaking in a Covid-19 press conference this morning, Justine Hoy, Head of Community Protection for Watford Borough Council, pleaded with people to keep a two-metre distance from other people as a minimum and to follow coronavirus rules.
A waste management company has been prosecuted following the death of a binman who was struck by a runaway truck. Peter Coleman, 54, was operating the waste truck at Woodside Leisure Park in Garston when it rolled away on October 11, 2014. The father of two from Dunstable, who was described by his family as a “devoted family man”, was fatally injured after being hit by the truck as he tried to regain control. The vehicle began to roll away because the safety mechanism designed to stop the bin lift operating when the vehicle was in drive had been bypassed. It was also found that the brakes had been defective.
