Clear policy needed to assure population in walking destinations though -walkers should be wearing masks in shops, adhering to strict hygiene, taking rubbish home, bringing packed lunches, leaving explanatory /reassuring note on car perhaps..

But otherwise, yes please start this process as soon as possible - many people are climbing the walls hemmed in like this, and cannot see that it is of even minor benefit (but has considerable downsides since it means we are trapped on crowded pavements and paths where we cannot keep 2 metres from people without standing deep in the gorse / nettles)

The outdoors are essential to many people's mental wellbeing and opening up safe access to it should be a priority, including being allowed to go and sit in your own 'bubble' of people in public parks.

Outdoor education is also important for young people and could resume with limited risk of infection where young people can walk to the venue.
