10 photos of Chesterfield town centre after it was placed in Tier 2 of Covid-19 restrictions

Chesterfield is now officially in ‘high alert’ coronavirus lockdown restrictions after being placed in Tier 2 of the Government’s three tier Covid-19 scheme.

From yesterday, households are now banned from mixing indoors or in social settings such as pubs and restaurants – although they remain open, along with shops and other businesses.

However, the restrictions appear to have impacted on town centre streets, with large swathes of Chesterfield deserted as the new rules come info force.

Here’s how our photographer Rachel Atkinx has captured the scenes in Chesterfield town centre as Tier 2 restrictions kick in.
