A public house in Lampeter has been required to make improvements to safeguard the public’s health and well-being as part of the coronavirus regulations.

As part of the Premises Improvement Notice, the public house must ensure that a distance of 2 metres is maintained between any persons on the premises, whilst observing the restrictions on gatherings of persons who are not of the same household meeting no more than 4 people.
