Allotment closure due to caronavirus
in Fruit & veg
Hello
Despite Michael Gove saying allotment gardening is acceptable as a form of exercise under the lockdown rules my town/parish council has closed the allotments. Has anyone else been locked out of their allotment?

It would have been easy for the guidance to explicitly state 'do not use your car to visit parks etc' but they have chosen not to do so.
Are you allowed to drive to a park for exercise?
Under the current government guidelines, people should only leave their homes if necessary.
This involves shopping for basic essentials, travelling for work, medical needs and for one form of exercise per day.
However, while parks remain open for exercise, the government is advising people to refrain from driving to them if possible.
