taxman Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 From this article The South Yorkshire region – which covers Sheffield, Rotherham, Doncaster and Barnsley – has secured a total of £41m from government in return for shutting pubs and other businesses. The package includes £11m for enhanced test and trace and local enforcement and £30m to support businesses affected by the tier 3 restrictions. The figure is lower, per head, than the packages agreed by Lancashire and the Liverpool city region, the first two areas to go into tier 3 last week. It works out as £22.77 a head, compared with about £28 a head in the other two regions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that simple though - surely the per head number should not use the population, but the fraction of the population who will need support. This must depend on what types of jobs each area has and could be very different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manc80 Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Does anyone know if you are allowed to leave Sheffield to go on holiday in the UK if you leave before Saturdays restrictions come into force? If so, are you supposed to then travel home once the restrictions come in on Saturday? All the guidance seems to be for areas already in a restricted area.

No borrowing involved, except from our own magic money tree. And who, at the treasury, keeps you so well informed? Making things up as you go along is obviously a trait of Tory supporters as well as Tory Governments. Why not electronically print another few billion pounds so that we can look after the poor then?

We were planning to go away Fri afternoon, but although that is possibly technically still allowed I think it's against the spirit of the law so we've cancelled it. I doubt we'll be welcome elsewhere if we're from a Tier3 zone. We're off to Rotherham, Donny or Barnsley for our holidays instead! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think anyones worked that out, based on the abuse I got on twitter from locals for saying this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
