The government has introduced a step approach to the return of outdoor and indoor sport areas across England.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>Outdoor grassroots sport and outdoor organised team and sports participation events have been allowed to resume from Step 1b (29 March), but spectators are not permitted at sporting events taking place on private land at Step 1b, with the exception of adults only where they are needed to supervise under-18s that they have a responsibility for or providing care or assistance to a person with disabilities participating in an organised sporting event or activity. These adults should maintain social distance and not mix with other households.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>This does not prevent people from viewing recreational or organised sport that is taking place in a public space (e.g. a park) at Step 1b or Step 2 (12 April), in groups of up to 6 people or 2 households. However, sporting events that are intended to attract spectators (including ticketed events), or events that are likely to attract a significant number of spectators (e.g. a major marathon), should not take place in a public space, or on private land, until Step 3 (no earlier than 17 May).</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Mid Worcestershire answering member printed Nigel Huddleston question first answered 15/04/2021 18:17:37 answering member 4407 label Biography information for Nigel Huddleston
