Edington Parish Council have put together a package to assist those members of the community who may be affected by the coronavirus. You should have received a letter from the Parish Council outlining what we are doing, this includes a request for volunteers and a phone number for anyone seeking help. We can provide assistance with shopping, collecting and delivering prescriptions, collecting newspapers (voucher holders only), dog walking etc. in line with the latest government advice on social distancing to keep everyone safe.
For the latest information about the virus and the measures being taken please go to one of the websites below.
The Parish Council are looking for volunteers to help those who are affected by the current problem, if you are able to help please sign up using this link.
Keep up to date with the latest village news by looking at the village twitter feed.
