Both the Stamford and Rutland areas are facing tougher coronavirus restrictions following the Government's announcement yesterday.

Stamford along with the rest of Lincolnshire is now in Tier 4 of coronavirus restrictions.

It means salons, gyms, and non-essesntial shops must close.

And small businesses in the Stamford area fear it could be the end for some of them

Katrina Pierce from the Lincolnshire Federation of Small Businesses says some members don't believe they can survive.

Rutland meanwhile has moved up to Tier 3.

That means bars, pubs and restaurants must close apart from takeaways or delivery.
