ALARMRISK.COM Page 20 Leicester's mayor has criticised the government for only recently providing data that he claims could have prevented the city's lockdown "ever being necessary". Sir Peter Soulsby told Sky News' Kay Burley @ Breakfast show that he felt "angry and frustrated".

The government is set to review added restrictions imposed on Leicester - which has witnessed the UK's first full local coronavirus lockdown - later on Thursday. Shops and schools in Leicester have been forced to close again, while the reopening of pubs and restaurants did not take place in the city in line with the rest of earlier this month. Sir Peter said he did not expect to be informed of the results of the government's review until it is publicly announced. Advertisement "It will be a political decision that will take us out, the same way it was a political decision that brought us into lockdown," said the Labour politician.

"I'm just very angry and frustrated because we've now, well into the lockdown, begun to get some data from the government that actually shows where the virus is and where it isn't in the city.”
