Four Core City UK leaders and mayors have written to Health Secretary Matt Hancock calling for a local approach to bring down infection rates.
The leaders of Newcastle, Manchester, Liverpool and Leeds propose a five point plan to manage lockdowns better and bring down coronavirus infection rates.
These are:
Judith Blake, leader of Leeds City Council, said: “We have been working incredibly hard with our partners and communities to control the spread of Covid-19 in Leeds and there has been a real sense of collective will and civic pride at local level. But the fact is that in spite of that work, rates of infection are continuing to rise and the new and existing measures which have been imposed on Leeds are proving at best confusing and at worst ineffective and damaging to our residents and economy.
“Alongside cities across the north, we believe that measures developed and led locally will prove far more effective in controlling the spread of this terrible virus and will equip us to make sure help and support goes where it is needed most. They would also address the serious concerns we have about the impact the pandemic is having on the hospitality sector and the current 10pm curfew which is proving to be counterproductive and is encouraging people to gather and socialise elsewhere.
“To ignore the importance of local knowledge and understanding at this crucial juncture would be short-sighted and could risk undermining the progress we have made and the trust we have built up over the course of this incredibly difficult year. I hope the government will take our suggestions onboard and work with us to help steer our cities through the coming weeks and months safely and with confidence.”
