North Lincolnshire Council Health Walk Officer Christine Johnson is sad to report that Ramblers Walking for health group walks are cancelled from Thursday 5 November until Wednesday 2 December, in accordance with the latest UK government guidelines.
According to government guidance you may continue to walk outdoors for exercise with the people you live with, your support bubble, or one person from another household. Walkers in England should however be mindful of different restrictions in other nations and not travel to Scotland and Wales.

Help for the Homeless in Barton
Immediate help is available in the town for homeless people.
