Day 1 of (Soft) Lockdown
As you might imagine, as we sit here in our homes on Day 1 of a relatively soft lockdown, advice and news keep flowing. This update summarises some of the most relevant:
- Allotments remain open to plot-holders who can access them ‘for exercise purposes’ once a day. Observe social distancing!
- CBC has suspended Garden Waste collections, read more below.
- Bonfire Warning, read below.
- Parks closed and use of play equipment not permitted by Government Order.
- Halls are also closed unless:
- they are being used to host pre-schools being kept open for key workers, or
- designated as emergency centres.
- Charity Commission & Government advice on charity employees.
- If you are an older person, living alone, and generally feeling the need for support then The Silverline is a useful resource. The Silverline also offers advice on protecting yourself from COVID-19 and is open 24 x 7.
- It has been agreed nationally that all VE Day celebration due to be held in May are to be postponed. It is possible they will be held in August near VJ Day.
