“I welcome the gradual reopening of local Councils’ public facilities as Covid-19 restrictions ease from Monday June 1, 2020.
“However, I ask
people to make the effort to observe social distancing and hygiene measures
while accessing our much-loved libraries, art galleries and museums.
“This way we will
play an important part in keeping our community safe and keeping our favourite
places open.
