Pub beer gardens should reopen and lockdown relaxed, claims government adviser

Pub beer gardens should be allowed to open as long as drinkers social distance, a government adviser has said. Professor Robert Dingwall has said lockdown, which came into force on March 23, should be relaxed and he thinks pub gardens should be opened amid the coronavirus pandemic. The sociologist told BBC Radio 4's Today programme on Friday that he thinks people should be able to sit in our gardens if they social distance on "sunny weekend afternoons". He said: "If it is a sunny weekend afternoon and the pub has a garden and the landlords are prepared to accept responsibility for not overcrowding that garden, I see no particular reason why it should not reopen."
