Isn't it better in our situation to give stronger deterrents to a few than give weak deterrents to many?
I suppose we could say that sending the police out is a bit self defeating as well although i do understand your point. I think that patrols would be better than outright fines (to start with) even if there were fines in place then people would have to be caught in the act so to speak, wouldn't that take an almost constant presence to implement? If so, wouldn't it be better to have highly visible people employed to patrol?Quote:

Acually in some of these places the beach is that close to peoples homes, closer than llandaff fields is to me and thats about 500 ydsQuote:

Sounds like a plan. If you ever get the chance to go to Heath park on a nice day (when this is over) there are people who have their full walking gear on to walk through the woods, it takes about 2 minutes. Maybe the bears could sort these people out, just because the really annoy me :hehe:Quote:

If anything comes from this, then i hope that there's some kind of legislation passed over massive fat women who block supermarket aisles with their trolleys while deciding which ****ing cheese to buy.Quote:

Members of the public should stay at home and not be tempted out by good weather, the government says.
In particular, Health Secretary Matt Hancock warned: "Sunbathing is against the rules that have been set out for important public health reasons."
Restrictions put in place to combat coronavirus state that everybody must stay at home where possible, and only leave if they have a "reasonable excuse". This includes:
Exercise - alone, or with members of your household
Shopping for basic necessities
Any medical need, or providing care for a vulnerable person
Travel to or from work, but only when you cannot work from home
What are the rules on exercise?
Warnings to stay away from beaches, national parks and other destinations were made in the run-up to the weekend as forecasters predicted warm weather. In some areas on Sunday temperatures exceeded 20C.
If you have to go outside you should stay more than 2m (6ft) apart from anyone other than members of your own household. This is what's known as social distancing.
Government guidance urges people to "stay local", use open spaces near their home and avoid unnecessary travel
Guidance to police says that the public shouldn't be sanctioned for "travelling a reasonable distance to exercise" - although no definition has been given
People should only exercise once a day, although in England, Scotland and Northern Ireland there is no legal ban on exercising more than that. In Wales, which sets its own health regulations, exercising more than once a day is now illegal - and potentially a criminal offence
You can exercise alone or with members of your own household
Gatherings of more than two in parks and public spaces have been banned (ruling out most team sports)
Dogs can be walked as part of a person's daily exercise
Not really the ones to the South but I get what you are implying and same can be said about Mile End Park. Maybe physical barricades? But issue is that for them to be cost effective they need to be used long-term and storage costs...Quote:
