MPs say it will be a “bitter pill to swallow” if the city is put under tier three coronavirus restrictions. The government met to decide what Covid-19 rules should be in place across the UK and in Sussex this afternoon. There are fears that Brighton and Hove could be dragged into tier three restrictions, which would see the closure of bars, pubs, and restaurants.
Brighton Kemptown and Peacehaven MP Lloyd Russell Moyle said it would be “hugely unfair” if that is the government’s decision but said everyone will need to follow the rules. Tier three would also mean the closure of hotels and guest houses, as well as indoor entertainment venues, and a ban on group exercises and classes in gyms.
