Open Holiday Parks
Open holiday parks in a staged way. Initially to owners of static caravans. Social distancing can easily be maintained by caravan owners. They can drive to their holiday homes, stay in the family group and take walks etc while keeping distance from others.
This will be of great benefit to the mental health of individuals to safely get out to a happy place.
The holiday parks are in a difficult position as they have to keep paying upkeep costs and fixed costs and customers must therefore keep paying fees even when the homes cannot be used. It would take the pressure of all parties if holiday home owners could visit their properties while maintaining social distance.
All other parts of holiday parks, such as restaurants, bars, leisure centres, camping and short stay holidays can be opened later. This will ensure that social distancing is easily maintained on holiday parks.

Why the contribution is important
This idea is important as it provides for an improvement in mental health for individuals and safely opens up a vital part of rural and coastal economies.

Hard hit park owners and operators, and often wider rural economies, depend on seasonal income from holiday home owners. Over extending closures may have long-lasting and significant impact for companies and communities.
No need to open bars, restaurants and shared spaces yet.
As elsewhere, responsible behaviour and especially social distancing will be key.
