How Nottingham looked on the first Friday night as lockdown was eased

Nottingham residents have been thanked for staying home despite new lockdown guidelines allowing unlimited exercise and individuals to meet up.

Police issued the praise following a patrol of the city centre last night (Friday, May 15).

The force's Special Officers shared a snap on their official Twitter account of Upper Parliament Street looking completely deserted.

Commenting on the scene in which not a car nor person can be seen they said: "Not an average Friday night".

The Tweet went on to thank Nottinghamshire residents for staying home.

They said: "Not an average Friday night in Nottingham but thank you Nottinghamshire from our NottsSCOS Team for Staying Home and keeping safe.

The thanks comes amid fears people would rush outside to meet friends and family following the new relaxed guidelines set out by the Government.
