"Are you sure Whitby wants you before you all start making plans"

Whitby doesn't speak with one voice, so this will be very difficult to discern. But if the lockdown has been sufficiently reduced, and there are cafes, restaurants, shops, etc... that need business then people will be within their rights to go, as long as it fits in with government guidelines. If there is a movement within Whitby - a genuine one involving business communities, councillors, etc... rather than a small handful of gobshites on Facebook tarring all folkies with the same brush because someone made half a pint of diet coke last two hours in a singaround - asking us not to go, then our party would not go. The plans are already made for most people, as the accommodation will be booked. It's just whether we go through with it. We will, however, do what we can to support a place we love as soon as it is safe to do so. Hope that answers your question!
