UK Government Puts New System In Place For Home Owners
In January this year, the former Secretary Of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government Robert Jenrick announced plans that the government was aiming to create new legislation that would allow the owners of leasehold properties to extend their current lease by around nine hundred and ninety years with no need to pay any ground rent. This could potentially save leaseholders thousands of pounds a year and give them the security of knowing that they own the property they live in for the long term and won't be forced out on to the street any time soon.

UK Government Tells Vulnerable Groups They Can Stop Shielding
As part of Boris Johnson's road map to releasing the lock down, people who are considered medically vulnerable or at higher risk than others of contracting Covid 19 are now being told they should stop shielding and follow the same rules and regulations as everyone else. This is to help ensure society can open fully and strengthen the economy which is suffering due to the fact that people have had to stay in their homes under lockdown for such a long time. A new set of advice and guidance has been created for those people who may be venturing out for the first time following the shielding period. They are being told to visit places such as supermarkets or other stores when it may be quieter and there is less risk for them to be coming in to contact with anyone who may be displaying symptoms of the virus or may have it unknowingly.

UK Students Receive GCSE Results
Students across the UK have been receiving their GCSE and A-Level results. This has shown that there has been a widening gap in inequality between students who are more well off than others. This has mainly happened because during the Covid 19 pandemic, when the whole country was in lock down, students who are better off will be able to afford better equipment and private tuition which they can do at home, all abiding by social distancing regulations in order to prevent the amount of social contact they have with others, thus preventing the spread of Covid 19.

The UK has now reached stage four on it's road map to releasing the lock down.
