We had to stay within 1Km of home when we were on lockdown.

Believe gov.uk says in your own village or town.

A quick Google says that local means "your village, town or the part of a city where you live".

Is it the police fining people?
I guess if driving is needed, you shouldn't be doing it.

I would only walk from my front door, not drive anywhere. But not everyone has open space nearby and parks, estates etc are open.

A friend of my daughter has been fined for walking with her children at a nature reserve. It was "out of area".
She did drive nearly 4 miles to get there - but if the children were bigger they could obviously have walked that far...

Does anyone have link to somewhere reliable with something concrete on?
Another daughter says it's to do with postcode but has only "heard" this.

I don't want a fine for just walking in the wrong place!

Thanks for your help.
