Service Disruption

With the recent announcement from Central Government with regard to COVID-19 ("Coronavirus"), we now need to make a change to the way we deliver some of our services. It’s with regret and concern for the safety of our older people that we will pause the delivery of community based accessible activity.

Unfortunately we will have to suspend all face to face information and advice services, which means the usual outreach Information and Advice sessions at locations across the Borough will not operate.
