Boris Johnson has today made an announcement that signals more easing of the lockdown measures.

Of course people across Teddington and indeed the whole UK have had to make radical changes to their lives since the pandemic began in March.

Teddington Station may well be seeing an increase in footfall as the official advice on using public transport has changed.

Previously trains and buses were meant to be for essential journeys only however from Friday this ruling is to be scrapped opening up the network once more.

Face coverings are still mandatory however.

The work from home guidance is also being scrapped on August 1st as people are encouraged to return to the office.

Also from August 1st the PM has said that most remaining leisure settings, such as bowling alleys, skating rinks and casinos, and close-contact services such as beauticians could resume.

However, soft play areas and nightclubs will remain closed beyond that date.

Sports stadiums and conferences may be reopened in October as well providing there are no large outbreaks.

This means that we can finally cheer on Harlequins after months away.

The Prime Minister hopes that we will have returned to 'significant normality' by Christmas.
