In the past few days Wortwell Parish Council has received a couple of complaints from villagers with regards to social distancing and the lack of respect for the current advice we are all asked to comply with. Subsequently, the Chairman has been in contact with the police to report these issues.

If villagers have any concerns or issues over people defying government guidelines on social distancing or unacceptable behaviour, they should telephone the police directly on 101, but they need to act when the offence is in progress.

With regards to the allotments, tenants are being scrupulously careful to stay inside their 250sq perimeter and are using this as their daily exercise. Social distancing is very strictly adhered to and rarely more than three or four plotholders are present at any one time. Gardening and allotments are permitted, indeed encouraged, as they are growing their own food, taking pressure off the supply chains.
