Nottingham will move into Tier 4 on Thursday

Starting 2021 with a bang


Nottingham and Nottinghamshire will be moving into Tier 4 restrictions at 12:01 am on Thursday morning, along with millions of others in England, as announced in briefing held by Matt Hancock earlier today.

These new restrictions mean that all non-essential shops, gyms, hairdressers and beauty salons are forced to close their doors once again.

This change in tiers also means that people are limited to meeting one person outside of their household in a public outdoor place. You can read more about the rules of Tier 4 on the gov.co.uk website.
