Stirling residents will be able to travel to other local authority areas from Friday due to the latest easing of Covid restrictions.
The measure was announced by First Minister Nicola Sturgeon in her latest update on the state of the virus in Scotland.
It will mean the end of the current ‘stay local’ message, with people allowed to meet others for outdoor socialising, recreation or formal exercise in groups of six adults from a total of six households.
Ms Sturgeon also confirmed that current areas in ‘Level Four’ restrictions – including Stirling – would be moving into Level Three from April 26, giving the green light for a relaxation of further rules from that date.
Non-essential shops will be allowed to re-open their doors and it will also be the big day for hospitality businesses across Stirling – with pubs and restaurants able to serve outdoors with alcohol and limited indoor re-opening for food until 8pm.
