Motorway Services Areas have a legal
exemption that allows us to continue to provide indoor seating for travellers
under The Health Protection (Coronavirus, Restrictions) (England) (No.4)
Regulations 2020. Part 4 of the regulations details the restrictions on the
service of food and drink and allows for the MSA exemption at regulation 15,
paragraph 5 (b).
This exemption enables us to fulfil the
legal obligations placed on us by the Department for Transport to provide
travellers with the opportunity to rest and safely take a break during their
journeys; and also to enable HGV drivers to take their statutory breaks. The
exemption has been agreed between the Department for Transport and the Health
& Safety Executive and we are following all the applicable safety advice.
It should go without saying, that if
you have any symptoms of COVID-19, including but not limited to, a high
temperature, a new continuous cough or a loss or change to your sense of smell
or taste, we kindly ask that you do not visit any Extra motorway service areas
and follow government guidance around testing & isolation.
