You will probably have heard by now that new local restrictions will come into force in Preston at midnight on Friday 7th August, similar to those in place in parts of East Lancashire, Yorkshire and Greater Manchester. These restrictions are unlikely to have any immediate effect on our previously notified reopening plans, although of course we will continue to monitor guidance and advice. We are sure that everyone will comply with the local arrangements, but current understanding is that this will not have any direct impact on workplace or learning activities. Take care and stay safe.
