* PUBLIC NOTICE *

Following a recent communication between the Schools, Churches and Town Council within Blackrod it is felt that whilst adhering to National Strategy but recognising our social responsibility, it would be pertinent to try to give assistance to those within the village who may become isolated through lack of interpersonal contact or through the inability to leave the confines of their own home over the coming months.

Therefore immediately after the forthcoming school holiday period , a meeting will be held to put together a plan of action that would provide various strategies that would then enable us to assist those amongst us who will need support.

If you or others you may know would like to suggest how this venture could be best made, please let us have your ideas which will be shared with others at the meeting in early April. You could also let us know if you would like to be part of the wider offer of assistance.

Many thanks for your support.
