Head along to destinationcranleigh.net/radio to find out how to send us your recordings. This was the week when lockdown was relaxed, with an easing of the 2m rule. Here's what we know. From 4th July in England, pubs, restaurants, hotels and hairdressers can reopen. Announcing the relaxation of lockdown rules, the Prime Minister said people should stay at least 2m apart, but follow a "one metre plus" rule where that wasn't possible. Also opening from 4th July are hotels, holiday apartments, campsites and caravan parks but shared facilities will need to be cleaned properly. Theatres and music halls can reopen, but they won't be able to hold live performances. Weddings will be allowed to have up to 30 attendees, and places of worship will be allowed to hold services, but singing will be banned. For now, indoor gyms, swimming pools, nail bars and indoor play areas will stay closed. Another easing of the lockdown measures from 4th July means two households can meet indoors or outdoors, and also stay overnight, while maintaining social distancing. These steps are however reversible, with the possibility raised for local or indeed national lockdowns if there's a surge in cases. We're looking forward to the next raft of businesses reopening in Cranleigh, especially the pubs! Do share your business news with the Destination Cranleigh team by email to hello@destinationcranleigh.net, and we can share your stories on the website and in future episodes of Cranleigh Community Radio.
Hello and welcome to the latest episode of Cranleigh Community Radio, I'm Martin Bamford.

I hope you enjoy what we've got lined up for you today. Coming up in today's episode, Lynda speaks to Michael Miller from Cranleigh History Society. Our resident poet, Trisha Broomfield, shares her work Bagpipes. There's a conversation about cricket and football with James Mitchell. Stephen Dennison introduces another piece of classical music, and we hear from the Cranleigh Arts team. This was the week when non-essential shops have reopened in England, and it's brilliant to see many of our much-loved shops in Cranleigh reopen. Shops that reopened must follow the government's Covid-19 secure guidelines. For example, using Perspex screens at tills, and adding floor markings to keep shoppers 2m apart. In Cranleigh High Street, Cranleigh Parish Council and Cranleigh Chamber of Commerce have introduced a voluntary pedestrian one-way system, as a way to keep everyone safe while queueing outside shops and moving along the High Street. Please head up one side and down the other, keeping the shops on your left. Early feedback for the scheme, gathered by our Street Champions, has been extremely positive. Also in the news this week, a £1bn fund designed to help England's children catch up on their education missed while schools have been closed. Announcing the funding, Prime Minister Boris Johnson thanked teachers, childcare workers and support staff for their efforts during the pandemic, and said he was "determined to do everything" he could to get all children back in school from September. We await a clear plan. On the subject of schools, earlier this week I caught up with Trevor Dale from the Cranleigh Society, to talk about progress with their campaign for Cranleigh Primary School, and a couple of other local issues currently on their radar.
