Parish status from Sunday 20th December
Kent is in now in Tier 4: Stay at Home
Click here to jump directly to the Government’s Tier 4 information.
The main points for ‘the public’:
- You must follow the rules from Sunday 20 December. This means that you cannot leave or be outside of the place you are living unless you have a reasonable excuse. You cannot meet other people indoors, including over the Christmas period, unless you live with them, or they are part of your support bubble. Outdoors, you can only meet one person from another household. These rules will not be relaxed for Christmas for Tier 4: you cannot form a Christmas Bubble in Tier 4.

Our Parish and the surrounding areas have many vulnerable people, please use the links above to find the full information and follow the instructions for everyone’s benefit.
Frank Montgomery Playing Field
In the current situation, the playing field is allowed to remain open. The government says: “playgrounds can remain open for individual exercise, and for people to use with others within your household, support bubble, or with one person from another household”. The school might use the grassed area for winter games (weather permitting).
