Ashby Nub News is sharing the Government's latest guidance on the coronavirus pandemic.

Ashby de la Zouch Town Council leader Councillor John Coxon has expressed disappointment at the news that a number of events in the town have either been cancelled or postponed in the light of the latest announcements on the Coronavirus pandemic.

The pandemic has seen a series of events in the town having to be called off in what was to have been a major year for the town.

These were the scenes in Ashby on Friday night as the town's pubs shut their doors due to the Coronavirus crisis.

Just after 9pm, The Lamb (pictured) was closed along with the Bull (see video) which had a sign outside saying the pub was no longer open.
