@russ634 While still providing our usual 24/7 service we are also patrolling all religious buildings, licensed premises, vulnerable buildings and attending any ongoing reports of groups congregating. If you mean the prayer centre in Shrewsbury (we don’t have a mosque) it’s on the list.

Daily exercise - reports of people driving to locations & parking up to exercise. The recommendation is to run, walk, cycle etc from your home. If you are fit enough to reach local scenery that’s fine but no unnecessary journeys please. #HelptheNHS
