Our thanks to Aughton PC Clerk Irene Roberts for this news:

Aughton Parish Council (‘APC’) – CORONAVIRUS

APC has a substantial elderly community – we are very concerned for the health and welfare of everyone within the Parish following this terrible outbreak.

Please contact elderly and vulnerable neighbours in your street and check that they have shopping and are in good health whilst, of course, ensuring that your own health is not endangered.

It cannot be stressed strongly enough that residents should follow the Government and Public Health England advice, keeping themselves up to date with news as matters progress - see the following links for further information: https://www.gov.uk/government/topica...nment-response https://www.lancashire.gov.uk/health...ng/coronavirus https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/corona...lation-advice/ www.wlcvs.org
