From tomorrow (Monday 12 April), step two of the government's lockdown relaxation will come into force.

This means that:

• Non-essential retail, personal care premises, such as hairdressers and nail salons, and public buildings, such as libraries and community centres, will reopen.

Frodsham Library will therefore be reopening for browsing and public computer access. Helsby will remain closed until further notice, with loan periods being extended until 17 May.

Overdue charges have been suspended during this period. Cheshire West libraries are now fine-free for children aged 0 to 12 years, they will no longer be charged for any overdue items.

• Most outdoor attractions and settings, including zoos, and theme parks, will also reopen although wider social contact rules will apply in these settings to prevent indoor mixing between different households. Drive-in cinemas and drive-in performances will also be permitted.

• Indoor leisure facilities, such as gyms and swimming pools, will also reopen - but only for use by people on their own or with their household.

Residents will be able to visit Frodsham Leisure Centre, although indoor exercise classes and group sports will have to wait until 17 May.

• Hospitality venues can serve people outdoors only. There will be no need for customers to order a substantial meal with alcohol, and no curfew - although customers must order, eat and drink while seated.

See our list of the Frodsham and Helsby hospitality venues that will be welcoming customers to their outdoor seating areas for more details.

• Self-contained accommodation, such as holiday lets, where indoor facilities are not shared with other households, can also reopen.

• Funerals can continue with up to 30 people, and the numbers able to attend weddings, receptions and commemorative events such as wakes will rise to 15 (from 6).
