Temporarily closing residential streets to allow kids to play and socialise safely outside has proved beneficial for both children and adults.

That website is dogshit, didn't even open properly and gave me seventeen popups. Judging by the headline though, good news.

The BBC website? Maybe if you live outside the UK it does? Literally zero pop ups for me, one of the few news websites that still has no pay/cookie wall.

I an outside the UK so possible. If I open it in a browser that has ublock its fine, I was opening it with the bult in browser in Voyager though

Yup, bbc has gone to shit now. They're trying to get subscription revenue from anyone outside the uk, and load up the ads. It used to be a staple source on world news (albeit somewhat biased). But it's jumped the shark and is lost.

The city is Leeds in the UK.

Oh wow, I had no idea, it's completely ad free for me. Might be worth vpning into the UK and seeing if that helps?

sounds more like "opening up streets" to me :)
