Pembrokeshire County Council Leader, Councillor David Simpson,
has provided a further coronavirus update for Tuesday, 14th April, as
follows:
‘I want to start by thanking you all for staying at home over the Easter
weekend. Last week I reinforced the message, which was – and still is
– “stay at home and help stop the virus spreading.”
‘I appreciate that this extended lockdown will be difficult. However, we
need to continue as directed in order to beat this pandemic. I am very
aware that we are all making sacrifices, I thank you all. Please stay
strong and stay safe.
‘I am also aware that businesses and individuals are changing their
ways to tackle the crisis.
‘People are at home making scrub bags and headbands for NHS
nurses; local shops are offering home delivery services and
volunteers are coming forward all the time. This is all positive and
highlights how we can all collectively do our bit.
‘Community spirit is vital, even more so now and this gives me an
opportunity to remind everyone about Pembrokeshire County
Council’s fantastic Community Hub.
‘The Community Hub is a one-stop shop and has been established for
those of you who are:
seeking help with tasks such as shopping (as a result of self-
isolation)
able to provide help to those in need and wanting to volunteer
involved in community support groups, co-ordinating volunteer
efforts in their communities, and looking for help, advice or
guidance
The Community Hub contact details are:
e-mail: [email protected].
telephone: 01437 776301.
‘I would also like to take this opportunity to personally thank all our
waste and recycling gangs who continue to collect your kerbside
collections.
‘Can I request that if you see them in your street, please shout out a
big “thank you” to them or give then a wave as they are passing. They
would really appreciate your support.
