Social distancing - a guide for towns, parishes and businesses
We have developed guidance on making public spaces safe:
In the short term to manage the risk of the virus spreading
In the longer term by building on the changes that have happened to the way we travel
The key principles
As town centres re-open the key principles of our role are:
We will not develop or impose plans on communities....Messages will be in our pay and display car parks, as well as rail stations, bus stations and shelters
Our measures must consider safe access for all users
We have built a toolkit to support communities developing their traffic management plans. ...You can read the Safer Public Spaces: Urban Centres and Green Spaces document.
