CITB have announced the permanent closure of the swimming pool at Bircham. All my children learnt to avoid drowning there. A very sad day for rural leisure services and for the local schools that used this fabulous facility 😟.

The rule of six applies to everyone, including witches, wizards and ghouls.
Please help reduce the risk of Covid-19 transmission by celebrating Halloween within your own household this year.

Flu can have serious consequences and vulnerable people can die of it. Having a vaccine will protect you and others.

This winter more than ever, with COVID-19 circulating, we need to reduce all avoidable risks. If you're eligible please get the vaccine when it's available.

This is why we need widespread testing of NHS staff *now* so that many can return to the frontline than needlessly self-isolate https://t.co/qCM0PJ5CMU

About time too...
We need access to urgent testing to maintain our workforce and to ensure their safety.

We've been calling for healthcare workers to be tested as a matter of urgency for weeks now, so this announcement is long overdue. Crucial that these tests are rolled out to all healthcare workers and their households urgently https://t.co/UuDCnxFHBp

This is not valuing staff & it’s WRONG. Still not enough being done 2 protect those being asked 2 lay their lives on the line 4 the public.

At this stage of the epidemic we need everyone to stay at home except in specific circumstances.

The NHS depends on us making it difficult for the virus to spread. We all need to make changes. This will be very disruptive but it is essential to keep the community safe.
