Stop all unnecessary travel especially to UK seaside/holiday resorts
With the Covid-19 accelerating across the country and in light of social distancing in place, I would like to raise the concern that there is an increased presence in holiday resorts throughout the UK.
Members of the public have been contacting the Holiday Parks & Campsites only to be informed that as long as there is NOT an announcement restricting this, they will continue to take people in.
This could have devastating effects on areas that are already struggling:
1). Adding to the regions NHS resources
2). Increase in demand from the already overstretched food suppliers
3). Increased risk of spreading the disease
Please ENFORCE the request for non-essential travel as soon as possible
