COVID-19: Lockdown rules are easing in parts of the UK, but people are being told to ‘act responsibly’

“Stay local” measures have been lifted in Wales – meaning there are no travel restrictions within the country for the first time since December.

Six people from two households can also meet and exercise outdoors, with self-contained holiday accommodation allowed to reopen from today.

This will serve as a much-needed boost for the tourism industry as the Easter break approaches – but locals are being urged to respect the rules that are still in place.

Tegryn Jones, the chief executive of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority, told Sky News: “It’s fair to say there’s a degree of concern among some local communities about an influx of visitors, so we’re asking people to act responsibly.

“It’s an opportunity to reopen, which is positive. We want this to be the start of a wider reopening and don’t want to close again due to people not following the guidelines.”

The relaxation of lockdown rules in Wales does not apply to people living in England, Scotland and Northern Ireland – but this could create challenges in communities that border the country.

In a statement, Dyfed-Powys Police told Sky News: “We are working closely with our colleagues in partner forces to educate those living along the border on the regulations relevant to them, and together we encourage people to do the right thing.
