Warrington has become the latest area in the north of England to announce it is moving to the highest level of coronavirus restrictions, but negotiations for other areas, including Nottingham, appeared to have stalled ahead of the weekend.
Warrington borough council said the Cheshire town would become a tier 3 area next week, with the exact date still to be confirmed. The council said it was getting £5.9m in central government support, made up of just under £1.7m for local testing and other public health measures and £4.2m to help businesses and staff.
