Joggers ignoring social distancing
Is it safe to mix walkers and joggers together in Raphael Park?
I walk with my wife there and the footpaths are quite narrow, social distancing is possible.
However the joggers do not think social distancing is applicable to them and rush past almost brushing shoulders and exhaling huge plumes of breath over everybody.
They do not obey the 1 metre + rule and are becoming something of a menace to the other park users who for the most part are obeying the rules for public safety.

Free parking to help you shop local
Cllr Damian White, leader of Havering Council, writes:
As leader of the council, I’m really pleased that my administration has been able to bring forward free parking in council car parks this Christmas.
I hope it will be a welcome boost for our local businesses, high streets and town centres after what has been an extremely challenging year.
The retail and hospitality sector has borne the brunt of the necessary restrictions we have faced, as we have tried to put the brakes on the spread of coronavirus.
