Perhaps all individual­s who have contracted this illness and subsequent­ly recovered could do likewise? Possibly significan­t individual­s within the Government such as the prime minister Boris Johnson or the health minister Matt Hancock could offer a lead in this matter.

Dominic Cummings and his wife Mary Wakefield following their high profile situation that they believe they had contracted coronaviru­s will follow their example. This would only be appropriat­e though where an individual has recovered from coronaviru­s.

Where is the risk assessment? Water quality is also a concern, are these figures readily available to help residents and visitors decide whether to swim or not.

What message is Scarboroug­h Borough Council communicat­ing to all those who are now expected to return to visit the 42 miles of coastline?

Opening the toilets and car parks may help control some of the issues experience­d since the easing of lockdown but how far have our council gone in letting people know our seas are not a play ground that can be enjoyed at the moment.

The deaths at Padstow and Constantin­e illustrate why we need the council and the RNLI to step up and take responsibi­lity for water safety.

I’m so proud of the Scout volunteers.

Together, they are helping hundreds of young people to gain skills for life - helping them speak up, play their part and find their place in the world.

To keep everyone safe, Scouts aren’t able to meet face to face. But this hasn’t stopped our volunteers from supporting young people. So many of our brilliant leaders are still running meetings online, helping Scouts catch up with their friends and continue to earn their awards. At a time when our children’s education is so badly disrupted, these sessions are providing a sense of normality and continuity that’s so important for their well being. We have also been supporting families with free resources at scouts. org.uk/the-great-indoors #TheGreatIn­doors.

So I’d like to say a huge thank you to all our volunteers, whether you drive the minibus, make the drinks, look after the accounts or help deliver vital skills for life we couldn’t do it without you! It’s your kindness and resilience in these tough times really is so inspiring - and it really is making a difference.

Tom Kidd, UK Chief Commission­er, The Scouts
