Coronavirus
As we are all aware, Coronavirus continues to dominate the news. We, like everyone else, are monitoring the situation on a daily if not hourly basis. The Parish Council have assessed a list of vulnerable people in the village and we believe currently that there is enough coverage and support through neighbours and carers.
However if any of you think this is not the case, please contact the Clerk who will endeavour to assist.
