Park rangers and security “will intervene” if measures of social distancing in open spaces are ignored, the London Olympic Park chief warned as restrictions on outdoor activities are eased.
Visitors will be watched closely, and many are expected to go to parks and recreation areas after the government relaxes the “stay local” message, which means people can drive to open-air areas.
Mark Camley, executive director of parks and venues for the London Legacy Development Corporation, which runs Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in East London, urged people not to travel far and enjoy nearby outdoor spaces.
Speaking on behalf of London’s top park authorities, Camley also said the police could be involved if people continually ignore the two-meter distance advice.
He said: “The expectation now is that people will come out more as it gets warmer, so London parks will have to introduce measures to ensure people stay two meters away.”
Camley added: “We really trust that people use their own common sense, but unfortunately some will ignore the advice, and we will be deploying security and rangers when necessary to step in and have a quiet word remembering those who stay apart.
“If there are major problems, I think the parks would not hesitate to involve the police, but we don’t want to get there, we really want people to use their common sense.”
