Metal fencing erected on Cambridge’s King’s Parade to encourage social distancing


Metal fencing has been erected on Cambridge’s King’s Parade to encourage social distancing, a recent news report in the local media has been able to reveal.

Approximately thirty metal barriers were installed in front of King’s College by Cambridge City Council in an assumed attempt to encourage social distancing and prevent crowds from gathering along King’s Parade.

The barriers display safety posters which deliver guidance in line with the government’s ‘Hands. Face. Space’ winter public information campaign, with markers reminding passers-by of the need to maintain a two-metre social distance from others in public.

The measure follows the Council’s move to fence off Cambridge’s Market Square on New Year’s Day (01/01) to “help reduce the spread of coronavirus in the city” and “avoid attracting people to the city centre.”

The measure also comes almost a year after the installation of King’s Parade’s controversial anti-terror barrier, with concerns expressed at the time over potential congestion and the quality of the infrastructure alike.
