The mayor and town council of Bridlington say they remain “open for business” despite the latest announcement of the postponement of relaxation of Covid-19 rules.
Bridlington Mayor Cllr Liam Dealtry said he wanted to thank visitors for their conduct last weekend which saw no issues in venues with coronavirus restrictions enforced.
It comes as the town have saw their businesses shuttered and were effectively closed to visitors while the most stringent coronavirus measures were in place.
The town also had to contend with visitors who came previously despite venues being closed and warnings from local officials to stay away.
Bridlington Mayor Cllr Dealtry said there were no problems in the town’s pubs venues over the weekend, even with the start of the Euro 2020 tournament on Saturday, June 13.
Liam said:
“As far as I know it was absolutely fantastic in Bridlington this weekend, we had a really good turnout.
“Visitors were adhering to the guidelines and there were no issues in any of our pubs as far as I know.
“We’re all still taking on board the latest government advice and everyone is playing their part, I’ve had no complaints from any of our cafes, pubs or fish and chip restaurants.
“As far as the delay goes, we’ve got to go with what the government tells us to do.
“It will be tough for the nightclubs and other businesses that are still closed, but if it’s another month it’s another month.
“I want to say thanks to everyone for sticking to the rules after the last year of our businesses not being open and also welcome back to Bridlington.”
