Police close Ruislip Lido as visitors fail to adhere to social distancing guidelines

Police have temporarily closed Ruislip Lido after members of the public broke social distancing rules at the reservoir and artificial beach.

Urging people to use common sense, the authorities have deemed the lido no longer available to use.

With a lack of resources in place to monitor the area, the police said in a statement: "Police have been called to Ruislip Lido to reports of large group gathering. Please use common sense when it comes to social distancing. #Covid19UK."

In the interest of safety, a sign has been erected in the water that warns people not to go in.
