State of Emergency Covid-19 (Part 7 - Lockdown)

[emeltom]

I have absolutely no idea what plans our local council has in place, nor whether they are doing anything to help any poor soul out there because they haven't told us a thing. Nothing on the local news and no communication from them. I only found out that they were stopping collecting the green garden rubbish bins because I went on line to check which coloured bin was due out last week.

I'm sure or should I say, I hope they have some plans in place and are doing something. It would be nice if we were told what.

I have looked at my councils website  to see what is going on.  They have a page for Coronavirus and Council Service Updates, it seems to be quite informative.  All bin collections running as normal at the moment. 

I suppose we should be looking at these websites as the only alternative would be for the council to spend money mailing everyone.

I was referring to a Department structure to deal with major incidents.

Thank you. However what do you do if you don't have access to a computer?

I'm not sure about Liverpool, but up here there's lots of info on the local news - TV and radio - and in local press (free or otherwise)

Also, lots of neighbourhood groups have started up to try and identify and support those in need of help.

My sons just come off night shift nursing Covid-19 patients...... Message to Mr. Johnson and his government ' Get NHS staffs protective gear sorted'

It's no better, apparently, in Wales where health is a devolved matter.

Just had recycling and garden waste bins emptied.  I must say our District Council has been very good.
I’m sorry to hear that some of you seem to have been left with no help, very worrying 

We have all had a card through the door giving details of our ‘ Local Volunteer Hub’.  With a phone number.  The hub can help with, picking up shopping; not sure how that works in practice, presumably you still have to order and pay, they will collect and deliver.
Picking up medication.
A friendly phone call.

There is also a separate number to call if you are concerned for a neighbour.

Pretty basic but it’s early days yet. So, a big thumbs up at the moment 👍
