In these days of multiple sources the Parish Council are conscious that there can be an information overload. With that in mind we will only publish information on Facebook and our website, information that is either particularly local and / or important and may not have been published widely elsewhere.
Here is a round-up of information recently received by the Parish Council:
Social distancing rules
Police are now enforcing social distancing rules. In the first instance they will attempt to do this by consent but have the power to fine people if they refuse to comply.
We have already received reports of people gathering in our play areas and have worked with police to disperse them.
To report breaches of social distancing rules the police have asked people to use the online 101 reporting service.
National Information:

Public Health England has also produced a range of material to support the Stay Home, Save Lives’ campaign which is free to download and use
NHS England has launched a national volunteer initiative
The British Red Cross also has a number of volunteer schemes to help communities in emergency situations.

Affected services
Our waste and recycling collections continue to operate as normal thanks to the dedication of staff at FCC.
To support this, we have stopped taking bulky waste collections until further notice.
We are offering businesses the opportunity to suspend their commercial and recycling collections to support them.
We are asking people on social media not to carry out house, garage or shed clearances unless they can store the waste for a period of time. The Household Recycling Centres are currently closed as it is classed as non-essential travel and we cannot accept side waste, as it would overwhelm our standard service.
The full list of affected services is available at www.wychavon.gov.uk/coronavirus
To report breaches of social distancing rules the police have asked people to use the online 101 reporting service.
