I am in The East Riding of Yorkshire and can’t seem to find my tier! 🤷🏼‍♀️

@Longwhiskers14

All those complaining about London - it's not just been calculated on the infection rate, it's also done on hospital Covid admissions and those in London are low at the moment. Plus infections are steadily falling across most boroughs, whereas in parts of the north they're on the rise again. Please let's not make this a north-south divide and instead makeit a everyone versus the Govt who landed us all in this crap by not acting quickly enough in Feb/March.

@LottieDot Apparently it'll be reviewed every two weeks.

It will be seen as a North South divide though.

Thanks so much

We’re tier 2 in Northamptonshire which is what I expected, seems fair enough for the amount of cases in our county, Beds and MK are in same tier 2 with similar cases

double check that tink when the postcode checker comes back up

Thanks for that. I guessed London and the surrounding areas would be in tier 2., same as last time. Nothing different from us.

@Starlightstarbright1

Tier 3- not surpised.

Just checked Leicester still tier 3....I feel miserable- must be far worse for them. just glad will be able to get to the gym

Yep I'm in Leicester city. It's shit!

We knew we'd be tier 3 though, cases have been rising again over the last few weeks.

Just know that we'll be tier 3 till the bitter end, we will be the only city that's been in constant lockdown/additional restrictions since March. Haven't been able to meet anyone inside for 8 months. I actually got excited the other day because I had to get the train to Coventry for a work thing. I've been working from home for 8 months. Only people I have spoken to face to face in all that time are my household, a couple of school mums on drop off and my in laws when shouting to each other from the other end of the drive.

Tier 3, West Mids, but when one of your sons has been in self isolation for eight weeks, another for four, and the house now has Covid, even being able to leave the house would be a bonus now.

I think I'm more pissed off that parts of London have higher rates than some Tier 2 ones tbh. It sends a big fucking message to everyone.

I’m so pissed off and disappointed to be in tier 3. I’m in east Kent with really low levels but because of Thanet and Swale we have this. For the first time I really feel like giving up. I just can’t be bothered with Christmas or making an effort.

@PuppyMonkey

Tier 3 - also not surprised. I reckon nobody really knows which areas are in the “East Midlands” so they thought sod it, put them all in.

Same with West Midlands (sort of). Its there as a header but its a county in its own right.

go and meet someone for xmas @FatGirlShrinking leicester has suffered enough

London is the powerhouse of the UK though.

My questions is what if you work /go to school in place that falls in a different tier to the one you live in. Which rules do you follow?

We’re in the same situation. We live in a tier 2 area, and our DC goes to a school in a Tier 3 area. You follow the rules of the Tier you live in 🙂.

Essex is back in Tier 2, despite the County Council's decision to put us in Tier 2 before lockdown despite the fact the government had us in Tier 1, presumably so we could come out of it earlier - didn't really work that way.

@PatriciaPerch

They've also put Bedfordshire and Milton Keynes. MK is in Bucks :o

Yes, I noticed that, though Beds does have MK postcodes, maybe that confused them, though I always think of MK being an a county on its own

Anyone?? East Riding of Yorkshire.
We are not North Yorkshire
We are not South Yorkshire
We are not West Yorkshire
We are not Humberside.

We are East Riding of Yorkshire

Anyone know why South West is listed in all three tiers yet parts of the southwest are in different tiers? So confusing!

They have to put London as one as people don't just stay in their borough. Also whilst you might be rural with low numbers if your nearest city or town has higher numbers many will be travelling too and fro for work etc. I just don't think they can get this so granular.

We're SE. V low cases (lowest In Surrey and consistently so) but have moved up to tier 2. Gutted but c'est la vie.

Thanks @patriciaperch I wonder if their subheadings but they've haven't been laid out in that way so it's a bit confusing. When I first read it I thought South West was in tier one but actually my part of the south west isn't, it's a good job I read the rest of the list.
