The Wivelsfield community has been doing what it does best; rallying around to give support to those that need it during the Coronavirus crisis.  Organised by longstanding resident, Rosemary Fair, the Wivelsfield Coronavirus Buddies are on hand to help anyone who is self-isolating, be that through picking up essential supplies, or offering a friendly chat on the phone.

To find out more about how you can help, or to contact the group for support, please see the attached flier.

Please be mindful of Government advice to volunteers (and those accepting help from them), on how to help safely.  The Government’s advice can be found here.

In line with Government advice during the coronavirus outbreak, the Parish Council office will be closed until further notice.  Anyone wishing to contact the Council should email the Clerk at clerk@wivelsfield.org.uk, copied to the Chair, cllrdawson@wivelsfield.org.uk  or call the office number (01444 471898) and leave a message (as messages can be retrieved remotely).

It is not yet known what arrangements will be put in place for carrying out Council business in the absence of being able to hold meetings face to face.  It is anticipated that the Government will push through legislation to allow for business to be conducted by alternative means, but, until the details of this are known, planned Council meetings are likely to be postponed.

Updates will be posted on the website.
