MIDDLESBROUGH, ENGLAND - OCTOBER 02: A woman wearing a face mask walks through the centre of Middlesbrough on October 02, 2020 in Middlesbrough, England. The mayor of Middlesbrough, Andy Preston is leading a protest over new coronavirus restrictions. The stance has led to fears that residents will fail to take seriously new measures imposed in the area. The elected mayor of Middlesbrough said he was prepared to defy the Government and reject new Covid-19 measures imposed on the town. This is thought to be the first time an authority leader has defied the government in the UK over coronavirus lockdown rules. Andy Preston is the 54-year-old Mayor of Middlesbrough who was elected to the post on May 2, 2019. He broke away from the Labour Party and became an independent candidate after drawing criticism from the party. New coronavirus restrictions in Liverpool, Warrington, Hartlepool and Middlesbrough will come into force on Saturday October 3 at one minute past midnight. It follows the news that households in parts of the North East of England are to be??legally banned from meeting each other indoors in any setting. Existing measures for Northumberland, Newcastle, Tyneside, Gateshead, Sunderland and County Durham were??tightened from September 30 at the request of local authorities because the virus was still spreading.
