I've just received the news that Hitchin & Harpenden, in line with the rest of Hertfordshire will be going into Tier 3. I am extremely disappointed in this. It is baffling to me, considering that our constituency has some of the lowest rates not only in Hertfordshire, but the East of England region. I am in discussions with the Department of Health to figure out the path to get us out of Tier 3, because I know how damaging this will be for local businesses and our society.
