Going to the gym, a yoga class, breakfast outside your favourite cafe, a haircut, a shopping trip, catching up with friends in a beer garden - these are all the things you're allowed to do once again from this morning, Monday!

Three lockdowns in 13 months have taken away simple pleasures we once took for granted - but things are changing.

Outdoor hospitality, events, and hair and nail salons are some of the things that are available to us again from today.

The roadmap to reopening businesses and society moves to stage two after the imposition of the most recent national lockdown before Christmas.

And we want to know what YOU are planning to do today in Hitchin to make the most of the new rules!

As well as non-essential shops, leisure centres and gyms, pubs and restaurants will also be reopening to serve customers outdoors for the first time this year.

So, tweet us your plans @HitchinNubNews or post on our Facebook page here.
