CORONAVIRUS – PARISH COUNCIL UPDATE

Last week we posted notices round the village, on the website, and on Facebook, asking people to get in touch if they needed help, or if they knew of people who needed help. We have had some response to this; and we have identified other people in the village who are vulnerable and need assistance either with shopping or meals. We realise that there may be more people who we don’t know about; and there will certainly be more who need help in the coming weeks as people go into self-isolation.

We also have a list of people who have generously offered their services as volunteers to help in whatever way they can. We are sure we will need more volunteers as more people start to require help.

If you are able to volunteer in any way at all, please get in touch with:
Cathy Fleet at parishclerk.steepleaston@gmail.com or on 01869 347000 or 0798 939 8838.

If you need help with shopping or picking up medication, or you know someone who does, please get in touch with Richard MacAndrew at richardmacandrew.steepleaston@gmail.com or on 01869 347209.

If you know someone in an ‘at risk’ group, who would benefit from the new Red Lion delivery service (details below), please get in touch with Charlotte Bartlett at charlottebartlett.steepleaston@gmail.com or on 01869 347347.

Tell us if you need help! Tell us if you can help!

MESSAGE FROM DEDDINGTON HEALTH CENTRE

Due to the Coronavirus pandemic, there are likely to be a number of changes to how you access care over the next days and weeks. From Monday, all same-day appointments will start with a telephone call. We are aiming to see as few patients face to face as possible to protect vulnerable patients and our staff. Rest assured we will do our very best to provide a high level service as usual. It will just be different for a while. Do not attend or call the surgery if you have a new cough or fever. Follow the advice here which will be updated regularly
