COVID19
The current situation is unprecedented and we can all see that it is having an impact on daily life for us all, whether we are in self isolation, in an 'at risk' or vulnerable group or just trying to continue with daily life in these difficult times.
We are fortunate in Risley and Hopwell to have a Neighbourhood Watch Scheme and a group of volunteers which has been set up in response to the Coronavirus outbreak, details can be seen in the newsletters under the News section.
For Government Advice on what to do if you think you have the illness see here link to NHS Website 111.nhs.uk/covid-19/

Take care and keep well.
PLAY AREA
PLAY AREA
Would parents please note that the fixed Play Area has been closed in accordance with the Government's advice in order to protect children from coming into any the virus. The open area is still accessible and the Parish Council reminds everyone to ensure that they follow the social distancing measures at all times.
It would be appreciated if dog owners would pick up after their pets if using the play area, especially as children may be using the open area for exercise. Thank you
FUTURE MEETINGS OF THE PARISH COUNCIL
Dear Residents
I am sure you will all have realised that we are currently unable to hold Parish Council meetings with the Government's movement & social distancing restrictions. Also a number of the Parish Council members are self-isolating as they fall within a vulnerable group.
The National Association of Local Councils and Government have now created legislation to cover this lockdown period and I can confirm that the Annual Meeting of the Parish and the Annual General Meeting will NOT be held in May.
If you need to contact the Parish Council I am still contactable on the email address (clerk@risleywithhopwellparishcouncil.org.uk) or on the telephone number shown below.
Take care and stay safe,
Sue
Clerk to the Parish Council
COUNTY COMMUNITY NEWS INCLUDING RECYCLING CENTRES
New safety measures introduced at recycling centres
Our household waste recycling centres have re-opened (Monday 18 May) – but only for waste that you cannot continue to store safely at home.
Please use your kerbside bins and bulky waste services run by your local and district borough council as you would normally do. And if you're planning to visit one of our centres, check out these golden rules before you travel:
- Only travel to your local recycling centre if it is essential because you can't continue to store waste safely at home without it causing injury or harm.
- Check which day you can access our recycling centres based on the last number on your vehicle registration plate – if it's an odd number, you can visit on odd numbered days of the month and if it's even you can visit on even numbered days.
- Avoid taking excessive amounts of waste and please don't bring vans or trailers.
- Please be prepared to queue as social distancing measures mean fewer vehicles will be allowed on site at any one time.
- Wear protective gloves, appropriate footwear and clothing and only bring what you can safely handle. Staff can't carry your waste as they normally would.
- Visit on your own – unless you need another adult from your household to help carry your waste.
- Stay at least 2 metres away from staff and other users and wash your hands when you get home.
- Stay at home if you have had coronavirus symptoms in the last 14 days, are self-isolating or at high risk of contracting the virus.
