My elderly neighbours, are Welsh, they are struggling but refuse much of the help offered. No-one from their two families in Wales has seen them for months I'm hoping someone will come to see them soon, I don't think phone calls show the real picture.

I didn't see the FMs announcement today but I believe he indicated he would be looking at cross border issues this week. He'll have to lift them for Christmas anyway.

Posted on 01/12/2020 20:12

If it's only for the Xmas period it will be no good for us as we should be on a CL in Cheshire then, fingers crossed.

Doubt that he will lift the ban on crossing borders anytime soon. Pubs in wales to stop serving by 5pm and no beer th obe sold. In England close later and sell beer.

Can you not contact your local Council brue? Anonymously as far as they are concerned? Our Council has a helpline to report anyone struggling, and sometimes someone they don’t know might spot signs they need help, and they just might accept it more. It’s very hard, but it might be for the best. I have been keeping an eye on a couple of elderly residents who live alone, not far from us. Seen carers now going into and out of one, and helped organise gardeners for other, who is more able to cope.

Thanks TDA, it's good that you've helped your neighbours. I have done quite a few things on behalf of our neighbours but they refuse all help beyond me doing some shopping and someone else doing gardening occasionally. Sadly it will take an emergency to shift the situation. I'm just hoping someone from their family will visit asap! Covid has certainly not helped this situation and many others which are no doubt similar. I feel sure that something like this permits a crossing from Wales?

Apologies, I've taken this away from the main reason for the thread.

No doubt further updates from Wales to come.

Disappointed and surprised to hear that after someone from Tier 4 (Scotland) posted on a caravan & Motorhome facebook group that they had cancelled their trip to Melrose Gibson site over Xmas that you have accepted a replacement booking from someone else in Tier 4. Surely you should be checking home address tier level. As far as I was aware the relaxation of travel restrictions was only to allow families to get together over the period, which is not the case in this particular case as the person had been looking for recommendations for sites in any location that were open. I am sure the locals in Melrose won't be too amused.

Well, surprised that those from tier one and two are welcomed into Wales now and Vice versa. So if I want a pint I can grab a bus into Chester. I don't by the way.
