Tourist spots gear up for weekend: Latest updates - BBC News
Bringing you the latest news from across England about the coronavirus pandemic.
New lockdown rules mean a trip to the beach is allowed but extra care should be taken in the water as there will be no lifeguards on duty, the National Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) has warned.

David Walker, RoSPA's leisure safety manager said: “The choices you make to look after yourself, your family and emergency services are critical this weekend. If you are thinking of going to the beach, check now as it may not be open and it will definitely will not be lifeguarded.

“Now is not the time to try out open water like lakes or reservoirs, as even though the weather’s getting warmer, cold water shock is a deadly danger and can incapacitate even the most experienced swimmers.

“If you see someone in trouble call 999 and ask for coastguard or fire. If you are in trouble float to live: fight you instincts, lean back, extend your arms and float.”
