OXFORD'S parks will remain open over Easter, the city council has confirmed.

The parks are to be used for daily exercise, however it is stressed that social distancing must be adhered to.

All park playgrounds, kiosks, toilets and sports courts remain closed.

The public is also asked not to use outdoor gym equipment as this could pose a health risk.

Louise Upton, the city council's cabinet member for Healthy Oxford, said: "Keep to the rules and help us keep the parks open."
