What can make life better straight away?
There are lots of suggestions about what can be done in the future to start easing the lockdown.
This idea is to highlight what can be done NOW to improve people's lives while we are still in lockdown.
A common theme in this consultation is people want freedom to undertake more outdoor low contact small number sports and other activities such as sailing, hill waling, golf etc and many more.
My point is these can all be allowed NOW as an extension to the "exercise" we are allowed to take, without any increased risks. We would also have to be allowed to travel to our chosen outdoor activity.
Why the contribution is important
This lockdown is likely to continue for a lot longer than people originally thought, and to make that bearable to most people, we must have some more freedom to responsibly take part in more outdoor activities that do not present a risk.
If the people see they are being given a little more freedom to make the situation a bit better, they are far more likely to remain on side and respect the restrictions that remain.
I feel it is important to allow some of these outdoor activities very soon, to show this consultation has been listened to and reacted upon.
This is essential to improve the mental health of people while we are in lockdown.
