Coming up in this episode…Lynda speaks to David Hall from Cranleigh Angling Society, there’s poetry from Trisha Broomfield, the latest update from Jamie at the Cranleigh Lions, an update from the Cranleigh Arts Team, and classical music introduced by Stephen Dennison.

After 14 weeks of Cranleigh Community Radio, the show is moving to a fortnightly schedule after this episode, so we’ll be back again on Friday 10th July, and we would love to hear your voice for that episode. Head along to destinationcranleigh.net/radio to find out how to send us your recordings.

This was the week when the lockdown was relaxed, with an easing of the 2m rule. Here’s what we know.

From 4th July in England, pubs, restaurants, hotels and hairdressers can reopen. Announcing the relaxation of lockdown rules, the Prime Minister said people should stay at least 2m apart, but follow a “one metre plus” rule where that wasn’t possible.

Also opening from 4th July are hotels, holiday apartments, campsites and caravan parks but shared facilities will need to be cleaned properly. Theatres and music halls can reopen, but they won’t be able to hold live performances.

Weddings will be allowed to have up to 30 attendees, and places of worship will be allowed to hold services, but singing will be banned.

For now, indoor gyms, swimming pools, nail bars and indoor play areas will stay closed.

Another easing of the lockdown measures from 4th July means two households can meet indoors or outdoors, and also stay overnight, all while maintaining social distancing.

These steps are however reversible, with the possibility raised for local or indeed national lockdowns if there’s a surge in cases.

We’re looking forward to the next raft of businesses reopening in Cranleigh, especially the pubs! Do share your business news with the Destination Cranleigh team by email to hello@destinationcranleigh.net, and we can share your stories on the website and in future episodes of Cranleigh Community Radio.
