Tier 2 question

11 replies

UnaCorda · 17/10/2020 23:30

I've read the Government website and various newspaper articles, and I still can't work out whether it's permissable for two people from London to meet indoors in an area outside London. And what about one person from London meeting someone who lives in another area that isn't in Tier 2?

I don't think it should be allowed (as it makes no sense in terms of what we're trying to achieve) but as someone living on their own (without children) and no support bubble currently I'm trying to find a way through this situation without losing my mind. It's so much harder this time round because of the weather.

No. Only supposed to meet people outside your household outdoors if you're in tier 2, even if you're meeting in a tier 1 area with someone who lives in a tier 1 area. However, it sounds like you could really do with forming a support bubble with someone. I'm not on my own and am finding it really hard this time round because the weather is so rubbish and I've just missed out on being able to go out to celebrate my best friends 40th as I live in tier 2 and she is in tier 1. Sympathies.

If you don’t live in the same household and aren’t in a support bubble, you can’t meet in another tier area indoors, outdoors yes, indoors nope.

I’m in a tier 2 area, work in a tier 1 area but can’t visit relatives in a tier 1 area, unless outdoors.

Thanks. That all makes sense.

Hoping to form a support bubble with someone soon.

Next question: if you want to form a bubble with someone who has young children and picks them up from and drops them off at their ex's house, occasionally going inside at the children's request, is that possible? Or have they formed a bubble with their ex by default?

Also, am I correct in saying there's no requirement to "register" your bubble anywhere?

You choose who is in your bubble and stick to it.
They have to be living by themselves in order to qualify and they can't choose to bubble with anyone else as well, just with you and your household (ie the people living in your house.)

Not sure about the ex situation, hopefully someone else can clarify
You don't register it formally anywhere.
Just choose a bubble if you want to and stick to it.

The ex and the friend don’t count as a bubble. The children are deemed as having two homes/households. You can still form a bubble with someone who shares custody of their children.

You do not need to register your bubble.

Thank you @Quaagars and @ItsBeyondMe.
