Residents in Newark and Sherwood are being urged not to burn garden waste or other materials during the lockdown.

Newark and Sherwood District Council is reminding people that coronavirus (Covid-19) can cause significant respiratory problems for people who contract the illness.

This means that people managing their symptoms at home may need to have their windows open to help improve their breathing and smoke coming from a fire could cause their breathing difficulties to become even worse.
