• IN response to your online report of complaints about people sunbathing on Primrose Hill on Easter Saturday, I was there around noon and saw a scene much the same as shown in the photograph used, (Easter patrol, April 13).

The people dotted about up the hill were well spread apart, but at the top of the hill the angle of the shot gave the impression that they were crowding together.

At the top I saw a few families on benches, all keeping at least two metres apart from others.

In Swiss Cottage Boots, the other day, the long queue for prescriptions was routed through a narrow aisle where shoppers needed to squeeze by to try to find necessary items like paracetamol (all gone) when we could have simply been directed around the back where there is plenty of space.

In supermarkets people are bumping into one another all the time, despite their good intentions; construction and road workers are still breathing over one another; tube trains are still crowded.

As Labour’s Sagal Abdi-Wali pointed out, there are many Londoners who don’t have gardens.
Even Piers Morgan, who is foaming at the mouth about the sunbathers, admits he has a small garden in his London home.

Has he considered what it must be like for people in tower blocks who have to wait in queues to use the lifts or the stairs to get out?

London is made of 40 per cent public green space, including 3,000 parks and totalling 35,000 acres, according to Wikipedia. There is space for everyone, as long as we keep our social distance.
