 Bassetlaw to move into Tier 3 (Very High Alert)
Bassetlaw, along with the rest of Nottinghamshire will enter Tier 3 for Covid-19 restrictions from Wednesday 2nd December.
The move is part of the Government’s Winter Plan to reduce the spread of the virus following the end of the four-week national lockdown.
Tier 3 means:
- No mixing of households indoors or outdoors apart from support bubbles. Maximum of six in some outdoor public places, for example parks and public gardens
- Hospitality will close except for sales by takeaway, drive-through or delivery
- Retail, entertainment and personal care businesses can all open
- Places of worship are open but people cannot interact with anyone outside household or support bubble
- Avoid travelling out of the area, other than where necessary for work, education, youth services, medical attention or because of caring responsibilities
- No overnight stays outside of local area, unless necessary for work, education or similar reasons
- 15 guests for weddings, civil partnerships and wakes; 30 for funerals. Wedding receptions not permitted
- Exercise classes and organised adult sport can take place outdoors, but should avoid contact. Organised activities for elite athletes, under-18s and disabled people can continue
The new Tiers have been strengthened to reduce the infection rate as part of a strategy to save lives, protect health and care services, and keep our economy and schools open.
As well as the new Tiers, the Government has also announced specific ‘Christmas bubbles’ that will allow people from three households to mix in homes between 23rd - 27th December, to enable them to celebrate Christmas together.

 Moving more in Bassetlaw
Young People in Bassetlaw who want to become more physically active, but face barriers in doing so are set to benefit from a £10,000 grant from Sport England. The funding, administered by Active Notts has been awarded to Focus on Young People in Bassetlaw (FOYPIB) and will be used to identify what types of physical activity appeals to young people in Bassetlaw and how these can be made accessible.
As well consulting 14-19 year olds on what physical activity young people want, with a particular focus on those who are not active, the investment will also support organisations who work with young people to create the activities that are identified.
