Good afternoon, Welcome to Friday, which can mean only one thing, a new set of announcements by the government regarding covid restrictions. Fortunately these are unlikely to make a difference in much of Lancashire, although it is highly anticipated there will be changes in Blackpool. Follow our live blog for all the latest. We realised how much confusion there is regarding the latest rules, so we put your most commonly asked questions directly to Lancashire's public health chief yesterday. We've also explained exactly what the new job support scheme is and who it benefits. Stef Hall has been reporting back from the courts following the sentencing of a Leyland driver who caused the death of a ' young at heart' pensioner in a horror crash. And Preston's Bulgarian community has condemned the daubing of Swastika in a vandalism attack - and why it might be connected to football. Meanwhile, Preston's areas and landmarks have become part of a new Monopoly board - and guess who is the Old Kent Road? Clue - think red. Have a lovely Friday, stay safe, and don't forget about the new 10pm venue curfew!
