COVID-19 News (7/Nov/20)

Frank Montgomery Playing Field

In the current situation, the playing field is allowed to remain open. The school might use the grassed area for winter games (weather permitting). Two adults can meet with any number of small children to use the facilities.

Current status in the parish

New local regulations came into force on the 5th November, click here for the UK Government page explaining the regulations.

Government also updated the guidance on Remembrance Sunday this week (see Local authority preparations for Remembrance Sunday). You may also find the following link useful from Law and Religion UK (Services and Events on Remembrance Sunday in England) and also visit the Royal British Legion website.

Remember – ‘Hands. Face. Space.’:

  • hands – wash your hands regularly and for 20 seconds
  • face – wear a face covering in indoor settings where social distancing may be difficult, and where you will come into contact with people you do not normally meet
  • space – stay 2 metres apart from people you do not live with where possible, or 1 metre with extra precautions in place (such as wearing face coverings or increasing ventilation indoors)
