 Once again in the High Peak and the rest of the county, we find ourselves in a national lockdown and this will naturally bring feelings of frustration, sadness and even anger.
If you’re struggling to stay afloat during these difficult times, there is help and support available if you need it with lots of advice around mental health and wellbeing on our website.
It’s really important that we all stay at home as much as possible and stay local to crack down on this virus and help reduce the spread.
That means working from home unless you really cannot do your job without being at work and only leaving the house for:
- essential goods and services
- health care
- outdoor exercise once a day either alone, with people from your household (or support bubble) or one other person.
Get all the information you need to know about the latest national lockdown on the Government’s website.
 Our Community Response Unit offers lots support for people who have no one else to help them out.
The team can help with food shopping and delivery, collect prescriptions and can also offer a friendly check in call for anyone who lives alone and has no friends of family to call on.
You can request help online or by calling 01629 535091. Phone lines are open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm.
We want to make sure that everyone stays safe and well during these uncertain times.
If you’re classed as clinically extremely vulnerable, then you should have received a letter advising you to shield again during this latest lockdown.

If you're in an eligible group for the Covid-19 vaccine then you'll be keen to know when you will receive it.
Patients will be contacted when their vaccine is available and we're asking everyone to avoid contacting their surgery in the meantime.
Everyone has an important part to play and we’re asking people to please remember the following:
- please don’t contact the NHS to seek a vaccine, they will contact you;
- when you are contacted, please attend your booked appointments;
- please continue to follow all the guidance to control the virus and save lives.

We’re working hard to keep as many of our services up-and-running as possible during the pandemic.
Unfortunately some of our services cannot be operated as normal due to the current restrictions.
Take a look at our latest update to see which services are affected.

The scheme offers financial support to businesses to help them through the pandemic.
Grants are distributed by district or borough councils. Once the details of this round are confirmed, make sure you keep an eye on High Peak Borough Council's website for information on how to apply.
