I live rurally, arse end of nowhere-right on the border of a county that will be tier 2 but our hamlet will be tier 3. The trees just after the end of my garden are tier 2 but our house falls in the other area. That’s fine, they have to draw lines somewhere etc
But, all our shops, post office, chip shop, bank, cash point, and petrol stations etc and my daughters nursery are in tier 2-there’s nothing for miles and miles in our county. I’d have to do a 40 mile round trip for a pint of milk. Are we really expected to do that?
We’re allowed to use the nursery and GP but not stop at Tesco?
We’ve stuck to the rules like glue until now, but we’ve always been tier 1 before so location of shops wasn’t an issue. But now technically we are cut off, so as well as not being able to meet any friend for a walk or go to the park (they are all down the road in tier 2) we can’t even buy food within the rules without extensive car travel.
It looks like the nearest park I can now take 15 month DD to is an hours round trip by car, instead of the one 3/4 mile away, and the footpath in the village crosses the county line.
I can’t see us sticking to this for months, it’s nonsense.
Anyone else in the same boat?
