Three bars and two restaurants in Poulton announced this evening they would be closing for a second time due to a rise in Covid-19 cases.

The Alley, on Breck Mews, told its customers the decision was "difficult, but sensible," and has cancelled all upcoming bookings.

It was due to "a recent rise of positive cases of Covid-19 in the area," the businesses said.
