Covid-19 Tiers Update - 17th December 2020
THIS INFORMATION HAS BEEN SUPERSEDED BY THE PM’S ANNOUNCEMENT ON 19TH DECEMBER. READ THE LATEST INFORMATION HERE.
Like all businesses, we are following the UK Government information closely, to ensure we continue to comply with applicable legislation, regulation, restrictions, and guidance.
On 17th December 2020 the Government announced that from 00:01 on Saturday 19th December both Berkshire and Surrey will be placed into tier 3. Blackbushe Airport is situated very close to the borders of Berkshire, Surrey, and Hampshire, but lies entirely within the administrative region of Hart District in Hampshire.
This update will therefore have no impact on the services Blackbushe Airport is able to provide.
However, we recognise that significant numbers of our users may live within Tier 3 areas. We re-iterate our request that nobody who lives in a Tier 3 area visits Blackbushe Airport, except where permitted under the regulations. For the avoidance of doubt these are:
Travelling into or out of a Tier 3 alert level area
Avoid travelling outside your area, including for overnight stays, other than where necessary, such as:
for work
for education
to access voluntary, charitable or youth services
because of caring responsibilities
for moving home
to visit your support bubble
for a medical appointment or treatment
Where necessary, you can travel through other areas as part of a longer journey.
If you live in a Tier 3 area, you must continue to follow Tier 3 rules when you travel to a Tier 1 or Tier 2 area. You must not stay with anyone you do not live with elsewhere in the UK or visit their home (unless you share a support bubble).
