Don't Blow It! Keep taking care of yourself and others

Yesterday, the Prime Minister laid out in a press conference that a decision would be made on 12 July as to whether or not many of the restrictions currently in place from the roadmap would be lifted on 19 July.

This would include the lifting of social-distancing rules, more information on which is available on GOV.UK here.

We will keep residents as updated as possible as the situation changes regarding what will be happening nationally and in the Borough over the coming weeks.

In the meantime, it's important that we keep ourselves and each other safe. Don't Blow It! Continue to get a vaccination, get a rapid test twice weekly, and social distance.
