Message from our Wiltshire Councillor regarding COVID-19 Dear All You are probably overwhelmed with the huge amount of sometimes conflicting information that is coming at you from so many different sources. Please may I urge you to focus on those sources that are authoritative and have the most direct effect on us all. In the case of Wiltshire Council I can assure you that our Council Leader, Philip Whitehead, our two Chief Executive Officers and all the Council staff are working flat out to make sure that all our key services continue to function through our own staffing difficulties and the challenges and demands of fast changing circumstances. If you experience changes, I assure you they will be for good reason.

This will be regularly updated for all Council services and will hold all information in a central place. I know that all our parish councils and various volunteer organisations, some spontaneously formed, are working hard to help with the plethora of needs that are emerging. Wiltshire Council has provided them with a community toolkit to support them and the communities. It contains useful information and links to key resources.

Parish Council Meetings and COVID-19 As a result of COVID-19 Parliament has passed two new pieces of legislation relating to the holding of Parish Council meetings and the timelines for the approving of the Council’s Accounts for FY 20/21. The impact of the legislation is that there is no requirement to hold an Annual Meeting of the Parish Council, the Chairman remains in place until 6 May 2021, and that meetings can be held remotely (e.g. via Zoom) and the date for the Accounts to be approved by the Council moves from 30 June 2020 to 31 August 2020.

Don’t delay seeking medical help because of coronavirus People living in Wiltshire are being advised not to let worries about coronavirus stop them asking for medical help for themselves or their children if they become ill, have a serious accident or have a concern about their health. They are also being warned that not seeking medical help for symptoms that could be the early warning signs of serious conditions such as cancer could be putting lives at risk.
