During the COVID-19 pandemic, a variety of lockdown regulations were enforced in England by way of statutory instrument. Most covered the whole country, but some focused on local areas of particular concern. Leicester was the first area to be subject to local restrictions, on 4 July 2020, and many other regions were added over the subsequent three months.
On 14 October 2020, all of the statutory instruments discussed below were revoked and replaced with a set of three new regulations implementing a national system of three tiers of restrictions across England.
Legal basis
editThe local regulations were all introduced by way of a statutory instrument made by the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, Matt Hancock, using emergency powers available to him under the Public Health (Control of Disease) Act 1984, the stated legal basis being "the serious and imminent threat to public health which is posed by the incidence and spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in England". In each case, the Secretary of State used section 45R of the Public Health (Control of Disease) Act 1984 to enact the regulations without prior parliamentary consideration, subject to retrospective approval by resolution of each House of Parliament within twenty-eight days.[1]
Leicester
editInitial regulations, in force 4 July 2020
editThe Health Protection (Coronavirus, Restrictions) (Leicester) Regulations 2020 (SI 2020/685)[2] were the first local lockdown regulations in England, coming into force on 4 July 2020 on the day that the nationwide regulations were relaxed by The Health Protection (Coronavirus, Restrictions) (No. 2) (England) Regulations 2020 which allowed most retail businesses to re-open and allowed certain gatherings of up to 30 people. Those relaxations were disapplied to the City of Leicester and the surrounding area ("the protected area"),[3] defined by a list of postcode districts.
In contrast to the rest of the country, all non-essential businesses in the protected area had to remain closed, apart from a few exceptions such as garden centres, vehicle showrooms and their outdoor areas. All leisure and recreational facilities (other than outdoor sports courts or amenities) also had to remain closed, with exceptions only for elite athletes. Food and drink establishments were not permitted to make sales for consumption on the premises. Places of worship could open for individual private prayer only.[4]
Households of any size could form a "linked household" with no more than one other household containing exactly one adult and any number of children.[5] The regulations prohibited anyone staying overnight without reasonable excuse within the protected area in a place other than the place where they lived, or where their linked household lived. Individuals living outside the protected area were prohibited without from staying overnight without reasonable excuse at any place within the protected area other than the place where their linked household was living. Certain indoor and outdoor gatherings were also banned.[4]
Protected area narrowed, 18 July 2020
editSI 2020/685 was amended on 18 July 2020, after 14 days, by The Health Protection (Coronavirus, Restrictions) (Leicester) (Amendment) Regulations 2020 (SI 2020/754).[6] These removed Blaby and Charnwood from the protected area,[7] restricting it to the City of Leicester and the Borough of Oadby and Wigston.[8]
Non-essential retail re-opened, 24 July 2020
editSI 2020/685 was amended on 24 July 2020, after a further six days, by The Health Protection (Coronavirus, Restrictions) (Leicester) (Amendment) (No. 2) Regulations 2020 (SI 2020/787).[9] These permitted the re-opening of non-essential retail premises, indoor markets in community centres, betting shops, retail galleries, drive-in cinemas, auction houses, and outdoor areas of zoos, safari parks and aquariums.[10]
Oadby and Wigston removed, 1 August 2020
editSI 2020/685 was amended on 1 August 2020, after a further eight days, by The Health Protection (Coronavirus, Restrictions) (Leicester) (Amendment) (No. 3) Regulations 2020 (SI 2020/823)[11] which removed the Borough of Oadby and Wigston from the protected area, limiting it solely to the City of Leicester.[12]
Rules on gatherings changed, 3 August 2020
editTwo days later, on 3 August 2020, all of the Leicester regulations were repealed and were replaced by The Health Protection (Coronavirus, Restrictions) (Leicester) (No. 2) Regulations 2020 (SI 2020/824).[13] These changed the rules on gatherings, restricting gatherings of more than two people within private dwellings (apart from linked households),[14] but allowing up to 30 elsewhere.[8] Some additional premises were permitted to re-open.[15]
Close-contact venues re-opened, 19 August 2020
editOn 19 August 2020 The Health Protection (Coronavirus, Restrictions) (Leicester) (Amendment) (No. 2) Regulations 2020 (SI 2020/875)[16] allowed the re-opening of outdoor swimming pools and outdoor facilities at water parks, nail bars and salons, tanning booths and salons, spas and beauty salons, massage parlours, tattoo parlours, and body and skin piercing services.[17]
Swimming pools and gyms re-opened, 8 September 2020
editOn 8 September 2020 The Health Protection (Coronavirus, Restrictions) (Blackburn with Darwen and Bradford, Leicester, and North of England) (Amendment) Regulations 2020 (SI 2020/954) permitted the re-opening in Leicester of indoor swimming pools, gyms, sports facilities, and fitness and dance studios.[18]
Play areas and conference centres re-opened, 15 September 2020

Oadby and Wigston added back, 22 September 2020
editOn 22 September 2020 the Borough of Oadby and Wigston, which had been removed from the protected area on 1 August, was added back.[20]
Linked childcare households, 22 September 2020
editThe concept of 'linked childcare households' was introduced in Leicester and all the local lockdown areas on 22 September 2020.[21] A household with at least one child aged 13 or under could link with another household who was providing informal childcare.[22] In order to link, all adults in both households had to agree.[23] Each household was allowed a single linked childcare household only, which could not be changed; multiple links were not permitted.[24]
As a new exception to the restrictions on gatherings, a household was allowed to meet with its linked childcare household provided that the meeting was reasonably necessary for the provision of informal childcare.[25] This was an additional exception specifically for informal childcare arrangements, not for Registered Childminders[26] who had their own 'education' exception.[27]
Revocation, 14 October 2020
editThese local restrictions were revoked on 14 October 2020 and replaced with regulations implementing a new three-tier system across England.
