MrPhantom Posted March 23, 2020 Report Share Posted March 23, 2020 2 minutes ago, AVB said: I think the page you are referring to regarding key (critical) workers relates to the provision of educational support for children of key workers. I interpret it that if you can’t work from home then you can travel to work. But it’s not clear. I interpreted it differently - we are in a lockdown situation and if you are not a ‘’key worker’ then you stay at home. Non essential travel means exactly that. Popping to the shops for provisions is essential travel, driving to your shoot is not. It’s about taking cars off the road, minimising the risk of accidents and the subsequent impact on NHS.

I just saw this in twitter posted by Robert Jenrick MP Secretary of State for Housing, communities and local government: Advice for the housing, construction & building maintenance industries: 🔹If you can work from home, do so. 🔹If you are working on site, you can continue to do so. But follow Public Health England guidance on social distancing. Edited March 23, 2020 by AVB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully there will be more information tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbie to this Posted March 24, 2020 Report Share Posted March 24, 2020 All clear here, from the Government's Facebook page, can still go to work if you cannot work from home. So many misinterpreted his statement, understandably because it was intentionally vague. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yens of millions are going to suffer. Whether you are doing something solitary or not, it is a blanket measure because folk are clearly unable to distinguish between essential or not. The easiest way to make it unambiguous is just to say to everyone. I think you should go and read the latest government advice. There is a thread on it in this section. Only certain businesses are shutting, you keep on about only essential ones being open, but that is incorrect. For the like of agriculture and engineering, its business as usual.

eddoakley Posted March 24, 2020 Report Share Posted March 24, 2020 What a balls up of a statement. Is it deliberately vague or was it just poorly worded? Everywhere you look people are confused about whether or not they should go to work. Forget the fact that there may or may not be (limited) benefits to claim if you don't work, nobody seems to know what's happening. I'm off to work until I'm told otherwise and have just told my employees the same. Edd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShootingEgg Posted March 24, 2020 Report Share Posted March 24, 2020 9 hours ago, Walker570 said: It is totally unworkable. I have a friend who is an agricultural contractor, he climbs in his tractor cab and goes hedge trimming, doesn't speak to anyone all day and goes home at night. He is the person who will suffer from this along with similar people. Will the police stop his tractor on route and arrest him ...totally ridiculous and unworkable. I have a farmer friend who needs 40 acres of ground ploughed in the next 10 days whilst the weather holds and a contractor has got to do that, essential work yes but where does the contractor stand driving to the farm. Surely farming is now key work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nev if the masses had followed the Government's advice and guidance it would not have needed to become mandatory! Many people need to have a good hard look at how they behave, for the greater benefit of others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
