Leicester lockdown: A year on

On the 29th of June 2020, the then health secretary Matt Hancock announced Leicester was to become the first place in the country to get its own local lockdown. It was brought in to help tackle a surge in coronavirus cases, which at that point accounted for 10 per cent of all positive cases in the country.

As the rest of England saw pubs, restaurants and hairdressers reopen on 'Super Saturday', businesses in Leicester were forced to stay closed - and, despite the promise of regular reviews, the restrictions in the city have never fully been lifted.

A year on, we're looking back at the lasting impact the pandemic has had on the city:

We hear from a foodbank, mental health service and domestic violence charity about the surge in people needing help; a young woman who lost her dad to coronavirus; the East Midlands Chamber of Commerce on the lessons to be learnt from Leicester's experiences; and one of the city's MPs on how the city needs to rebuild itself.
