SUSAN Hinchcliffe talks about two weeks to get the coronavirus under control.

How can this [be] the case when people are queuing outside Next? Yes they are social distance[d] but is this classed as essential shopping? 

This third lockdown is nothing like the first, people are not respectful of the rules. Bradford Council should impose a curfew, this would stop all the people driving round and meeting up on an evening in their cars, some of this may be innocent but a lot of the time it's drug dealing. The only people that should be on the roads in their car are people going to and from work.

The only shops that should be open are the same ones that were open in the first lockdown. People are bored and because the weather is not particularly nice they are using the shops as an excuse to get out of the house.

In the first lockdown you could tell that people were obeying the rules as the streets were cleaner, the traffic pollution was better.

In my mind if it wasn't for the news I wouldn't realise that was there was a pandemic because of people's actions - why are the Government so frightened of implementing, rules are there to protect, we need structure.

Bradford Council need to be more proactive rather than reactive. We are almost 11 months on and worse state than we first started in March last year.
