    I don't think his announcement changed any of the policies in place. But was trying to get people to return to work if they could. Will see what change is put in the updated information later.

    It's more of a tone and indication. Scotland still emphasising the stay at home, where as England preparing for gradual changes to return to a form of normality.

    I'll be very interested to read what (if any) changes are made to the Coronavirus Regulations and the associated statutory instruments. Seemingly nothing in Johnson's speech last night actually changed anything substantial. Construction and manufacturing, the two examples cited, were always allowed to be open even though many firms may have chosen to idle. He didn't suggest any of the businesses he ordered shuttered in March could reopen at all. You were always allowed to exercise as a household. The 1hr a day thing was a suggestion by Gove, albeit a sensible one that most people accepted.

    The main apparent change is the ability to travel in a car to indulge in your exercise, which opens up many possibilities, not all of which will be welcome to everyone. Having said that, the regulations do not specifically say you cannot do that as they stand. Paragraph 6(2)(a), dealing with obtaining supplies, does not specifically authorise travelling by car or otherwise to obtain them, although for most people it would be a nonsense to interpret the legislation as preventing you driving to the supermarket. Paragraph 6(2)(f) does not specifically authorise travelling by car or otherwise to exercise, but common sense has said that you have to travel to buy stuff, but you don't have to travel to exercise. Quite how sticking to the original interpretation in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland sits with them proposing the opening of garden centres to the public is more difficult to explain.

    I understood the original instruction was that all retail (except exempt) had to close and that garden centres were not exempt.  

    Should we expect to see an updated list of formal guidance as each area is moved from "closed" to "allowed to open"?

    North Wales police are still turning people away....as for caravan parks, in the begining owners could use put no amenities were open on sites, then this was changed that all sites were closed and only residents( ie people who stay all season) could remain.
    As of today it remains in place....not sure what your site owner know that is different

    No, here in Wales you cannot come here for a holiday or to stay in your caravan.
    Government restrictions are still enforced here by the Welsh government. 

    Please stay away from Wales, thank you.

    Even before last nights speech Scotland's guidance was more restrictive than England's egbthey were advising all business to close  unless they were "essential or material to the effort against the virus or to the wellbeing of society"

    Were the Scottish regs every any different? Or are the differences from speeches by politicians etc?

    The revised guidance for England still says "Leaving your home - the place you live - to stay at another home for a holiday or other purpose is not allowed. This includes visiting second homes." It is clear that the OP cannot go and stay at their caravan, no matter where it is sited.
    It's not difficult!
    'Wander' - to walk or move in a leisurely manner.
    'Wonder' - to feel curious.
