What level would trigger local restrictions being put in place?

Looked at my borough and cases were 20 per 100000 in the week 20th to 26th August. The average area in England had 7. There was 50 confirmed cases up from 22 on the previous week. what level would it need to get to before local lockdowns are put in place?

I've made over 50 masks in the past week for family, our kids and partner and I for school. We were hoping for it before it was announced and now I'm praying something happens in Bolton and all of the other higher areas or school opening is going to be a shit show.

@middleager - is it on a website? - no just manipulated from the daily download file available at coronavirus.data.gov.uk/about-data#legacy-csv-downloads

I've removed some of the excess columns, and made sure the fields match the header rows (for the sharp-eyed).

Its strange how they do it, where I live its 44 in 100000 and we were higher and have only just gone into Enhanced support from being an area of concern for 3 weeks.
So I haven't got a clue how they work things out.

I'm. Hoping Bolton announces extra restrictions I have two kids due back this week one at a special school I feel sick at the prospect but know my boys need to go back😵

I’m in Kirklees & we locked down on 27 cases per 100,000. There are places with higher case numbers than us that aren’t locked down 🤨 I’m not sure it’s based on any set amount. Rather, who cares about the north. There’s a lot of ethnic minorities there. Lock em down. 🙄

It’s not based on figures, it’s also political - Tory MOs are able to push for their areas not to be locked down even if the figures say they should be.

Thanks, that's helpful. My area seems to have the highest today but it is the largest LA.. (Birmingham).

@Onthedancefloor

NB GM schools are going back next week - children are being asked to wear masks in corridors and other areas where distancing will be difficult. We are currently sewing a batch of fabric masks for the school to give to any families who need them.

DD's school is doing a 2 week in school / 2 week watching lessons remotely system for now, DS's school is back full time but with different start / lunch / finish times for each year group.

On I didn’t realise some schools were using rota already. Is it a state school? Just listening to R4 saying all schools open. Wondering if this includes schools on rota.

@MarshaBradyo it's a state 6th form college. I think the guidelines for local lockdown recommend a rota system, not sure though. The guidelines came out very late, making it difficult for schools to know what to do.

DS' secondary school are having 1 day inductions for each year group this week, then all back from next week.
