Important Covid updates

October 10th, 2020

Please see latest Covid updates:

As you may be continuing to view in the local media, cases of COVID are increasing sharply across the County.

 

The Government are expected to announce tougher restrictions for Nottingham and Nottinghamshire next week which could include measures similar to those in place in other parts of the country in which movements are restricted.

The message remains the same in the County to not mix indoors with people from other households until any further update is available.

 

Please also continue to follow this advice and play your part to stop the spread of the virus:

 

  • “Hands, Face, Space” which means:
    – Hands – wash your hands frequently for at least 20 seconds
    – Face – wear a face covering where required, unless you are exempt
    – Space – Maintain social distance of at least 2 metres from anyone you don’t live with or 1 metre plus additional precautions such as extra ventilation, screens or face coverings
  • When eating out at a café, pub or restaurant everyone should provide full and accurate contact details of everyone in your group using the NHS COVID-19 app or leaving details with the business.
  • Avoid car sharing but if doing so keep windows open, stick to small groups and wipe down surfaces.
  • If you have COVID symptoms, get a test and self-isolate. Symptoms include a fever, a new continuous cough, or loss of your sense of taste or smell. Call 119 to book your free test or book online via the NHS website.

A reminder, face coverings must be worn in the following locations:

 

  • Customers in private hire vehicles and taxis.
  • Customers in hospitality venues, except when seated at a table to eat or drink. Staff in hospitality and retail are required to wear them too.
  • Staff working on public transport and taxi drivers.

 

We are planning to introduce COVID Information officers on a shift basis in West Bridgford and the six largest parishes over the next week to assist businesses and residents.

 

We will be in touch with the Parish Councils in Cotgrave, Bingham, Radcliffe on Trent, Keyworth, Ruddington and East Leake about this and how we can best work together with our parish partners.

 

The officers will work alongside our Environmental Health Officers to ensure that we support businesses and residents as much as possible. A further update on this will be available in next week’s Councillors’ Connection.

 

Thank you,

The Media Team

For those that have ventured down to Barnstone Park Play Area,  you will see that there are a couple of fantastic new additions as below.

Even though they look inviting, the equipment is not yet complete.

The work needs to be finished and officially signed off, before play commences.

I will advise you all once it is officially ready for action!!!

 

 

 

Flooding & Community Resilience

October 8th, 2020

FLOODING

Community resilience

Introduction 

Parish and town councils can play an important role in alleviating the impact of an emergency.

Various measures can be considered to support communities. These include:

  • Developing a community emergency plan
  • Acquiring a resilience store
  • Participating in the Environment Agency’s flood warden scheme
  • Participating in Nottinghamshire County Council’s flood signage scheme.

Please note these measures are voluntary and are not designed to replace any assistance provided by the emergency services or other organisations.

Although parish / town councils are responsible for the implementation of these schemes, support will be available from Rushcliffe Borough Council, Nottinghamshire County Council and the Environment Agency.

For more information, please contact the Rushcliffe Customer Service Centre and request to speak with Rushcliffe Borough Council’s emergency planning officer.

Further advice on flooding, including a list of frequently asked questions, is available on our flooding advice pages.

 

Grants for Communities

A grant scheme has been set up by Rushcliffe Borough Council to provide funding towards community flood resilience stores. This is a one off pot of money Rushcliffe received for flooding expenditure 2013 -2014, and has chosen to reinvest into flood risk communities to increase flood resilience.

The scheme is open to all Parish/ Town Councils and West Bridgford Local Area Forum interested in setting up a flood resilience store within their community and is not for flood alleviation works. The grant must be used for equipment to benefit the whole flood affected community and not for equipment fixed/attached to individual properties.

Priority will be given to those communities that have previously experienced river or surface water flooding. The total funding will be allocated based on risk and grants are available up to a maximum of £1050 (subject to available funds).

You must demonstrate that the grant will assist the community be more flood resilient and assist vulnerable members of the community in times of flood and that the stores will be sustainable.

The grant could be used for purchasing or part payment of for example

  • A resilience store
  • Supply of sandbags or sandbag alternatives
  • Hi vis jackets / torches
  • Other community flood resilient equipment.

Guidance on setting up a flood resilience store can be found on the Community resilience page
