Coronavirus in the Community
March 13th, 2020
As you are all aware, the impact of the Coronavirus is escalating.
The Parish Council is concerned that there may be some members of our community who may have ‘fallen through the net’. They may not be known to the authorities, they may not have a support network of family or friends, they may not have internet access.
If you are aware that a neighbour is struggling to cope please be a good neighbour and check if they need any help.
Thank you

Congratulations to our own David Williams who has won the Volunteer of the Year Award at yesterday’s Celebrating Rushcliffe Awards, held at The Becket School in West Bridgford.

He delivers them to a recycling site before sending the equivalent plastic monetary value to the charity.
