Coronavirus - Plan B now in force (since 13 Dec)
Due to the fast spreading Omicron variation of the Covid virus, wearing face masks is now mandatory again in most public settings, and people are asked to work from home where possible. Everyone is encouraged to continue to take other precautions such as maintaining social distancing, washing hands or using hand sanitiser, and taking regular lateral flow tests. People who have received two vaccinations can still catch covid and pass it on, so these recommendations are to protect us and those around us.
Read more about the government guidelines here: Government guidance on the restrictions
Self-isolate if you or anyone in your household has symptoms and get a test as soon as possible. See: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/testing-and-tracing/get-a-test-to-check-if-you-have-coronavirus/

Crimes and Anti-social behaviour!
We (the Parish Council) are aware that a lot of incidents of anti-social behaviour and minor crimes have been happening in the village recently, including thefts, harassment, vandalism and fires. We asked our Police Community Support Officer about them and this is her reply. Please read it and please report any incidents, as she suggests, so that the police have a record of what is happening.
"We seem to be getting lots of complaints about ASB by people in the village who have not been involved, but have ‘heard’ about other people who have been affected – but the vast majority isn’t being reported to police, and seems to be discussed by residents and possibly on facebook from what I have been told. By doing this police are already on the backfoot as this information, if not shared and reported correctly to us, means we have little or no knowledge of it and it cannot be acted upon. I would reiterate that if anyone has anything they need to report they should be doing this through the proper means – calling 101 to report incidents and or crimes or emailing 101@dc.police.uk. There is also a crime reporting form on our website. 999 can be used in an emergency."
