Local lockdowns have failed to get coronavirus cases under control, according to new analysis. At the moment one in four Brits are living under enhanced restrictions due to high infection rates in certain areas.
Of the 48 towns, cities and districts where these local lockdowns are being enforced, only one - Luton in Bedfordshire - has been released from the measures.
Stockport in Greater Manchester and Wigan in Lancashire did break free, but have since been made to impose extra restrictions on socialising.
Luton appears to be teetering on the edge of being returned to lockdown again. All of the other areas where people are living under enhanced restrictions are still recording case rises, analysis by The Telegraph shows.
