New era begins for the UK

A new era has begun for the United Kingdom after it completed its formal separation from the European Union.

The UK stopped following EU rules at 23:00 GMT, as replacement arrangements for travel, trade, immigration and security co-operation came into force.

Boris Johnson said the UK had "freedom in our hands" and the ability to do things "differently and better" now the long Brexit process was over.

Latest Lockdown 5th November - 2nd December

Tue, 03 Nov 2020 04:17:35 GMT

The latest lockdown period for England 2nd November - 5th December

Information on the new national restrictions, including what they mean for working from home and business closures, why they are being introduced and the financial support available.

COVID-19 case numbers are rising rapidly across the whole of the UK and in other countries. We must act now to control the spread of the virus. The single most important action we can all take, in fighting coronavirus, is to stay at home, to protect the NHS and save lives.

When we reduce our day-to-day contact with other people, we will reduce the spread of the infection. That is why, from Thursday 5 November until Wednesday 2 December, the Government is taking the following action:

Requiring people to stay at home, except for specific purposes.
Preventing gathering with people you do not live with, except for specific purposes.
Closing certain businesses and venues.

These new measures have been carefully judged to achieve the maximum reduction in growth in the number of cases, preventing the NHS from being overwhelmed, whilst ensuring that schools, colleges and universities stay open and that as many people as possible continue to work.

Until Thursday 5 November, the relevant Local Covid Alert Level measures will continue to apply in the area where you live. From Thursday the national restrictions replace the local restrictions in your area. No new areas will move in the LCAL Very High restrictions between now and Thursday.

The new measures will apply nationally for four weeks up to Wednesday 2 December. At the end of the period, we will look to return to a regional approach, based on the latest data.

Complying with the new measures will help limit the spread of coronavirus, reduce the impact on the NHS and save lives. They will be underpinned by law which will make clear about what you must and must not do from 5 November. The relevant authorities, including the police, will have powers to enforce the law – including through fines and dispersing gatherings.

We wanted to share the UK Government's latest advice on ways to help stop or reduce the spread of the Covid-19. As a business we have been and continue to take out responsibility of reducing the spread as seriously as we can do.

The measures that we have in place for operating in a Covid Safer way is as follows:

All keys and areas of the cars that mechanics come into contact with will be cleaned with disinfectant wipes afterwards. We are asking customers to hand over keys and collect their vehicles outside as opposed to coming into the garage.

We are also using an Atomiser machine inside the vehicle after we have finished working on it, to help eliminate any bacteria.

In terms of payments, these are being taken over the phone and we are asking customers to pay by card. Customer can also pay by card when they collect their vehicles if necessary, although we are not declining customers who pay in cash the preferred method is by card for safety reasons.

Our staff are also coming to work if they are fit and healthy and displaying no known symptoms of Covid-19.
