Coronavirus
Although legal covid restrictions have been lifted, everyone is encouraged to continue to take precautions such as wearing face masks in crowded and enclosed spaces, maintaining social distancing, washing hands or using hand sanitiser, taking a lateral flow test if you feel ill, and staying at home if you are unwell (whether flu or covid). People who have received two vaccinations and a booster or who have had covid already can still catch covid and pass it on, so these recommendations are to protect us and those around us.

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."
