Shoppers at a Hampshire supermarket have found themselves crossing tiers while crossing aisles.

Lidl in Portchester straddles the border of Tier 2 Fareham and Tier 4 Portsmouth.

Bargain hunters travel between the two tiers while inside the store.

People in Gosport, Portsmouth and Havant became subject to England's toughest new restrictions over the weekend.

Gosport Borough Council's leader Mark Hook said he "can't understand" why the area has been moved into tier four while neighbouring areas like Fareham remain in tier two.

Meanwhile, Portsmouth City Council said it was given "no warning".
