This notice has been put up by Buckinghamshire Council on the gate adjacent to Stoney Green Farm in Hampden Road. It has the following wording: Buckinghamshire Council-Access to public rights of way and Coronavirus (COVID-19) The restrictions on movement announced by the government now apply to public rights of way and the countryside access network. This Public Right of Way passes through an area where people need to be "shielded" from the Coronavirus live. Ask yourself "do I really need to use this particular route?" . Only use your local rights of way network for lawful access which is to exercise once a day and for routes to food shops or when essential for work. Do not stray from the legal line of the public right of way. . Keep around 2 metres (6 feet) spacing between your household group and others you may meet on the paths. . Don't arrange to meet other families or form groups larger than two to share your exercise walk or ride. . Keep dogs on a lead, and away from other animals, people and dogs, so you do not have to leave the path. . Hand-sanitise before and after touching any shared surfaces, e.g. stiles/ gates/handrails, or wear gloves. . It is essential to carry, use and take home your tissues and other health products. . Remember to wash your hands before going out and immediately after returning home and avoid touching your face as other people would have used gates, stiles and other structures before you. You can continue to enjoy the 3,330 kilometres (2,070 miles) public rights of way network for exercise and essential journeys responsibly but always be aware of the needs of more vulnerable people who live close to these routes and keep them safe.
