Following the alert sent out this morning, please see the official government response to messages such as the one shown below:

Criminals are able to use spoofing technology to send texts and emails impersonating organisations that you know and trust. We would remind anyone who receives an unexpected text or email asking for personal or financial details not click on the links or attachments, and don’t respond to any messages that ask for your personal or financial details.â€

Good afternoon,
Due to the current worldwide pandemic, Pebmarsh Parish Council will not be calling the upcoming meeting for next week.
The Parish Council will instead discuss any urgent matters over email / phone and non urgent matters will be postponed to the next meeting at such time as it is safe to meet.
Please the agenda on the website in the relevant section, indicating the subjects that were initially going to be discussed; each item will either be discussed between councillors and the clerk remotely or agreed to be postponed. I imagine this process will take a considerable amount of time due to the time delay with emails, but once it is complete I will compile minutes to reflect all that is discussed and any decisions that are made and post them on the website in the usual manner.
At this time of uncertainty please take care, look after each other and stay postive – we will get through this together.
All the very best,
Shelley Boydell
Clerk to Pebmarsh Parish Council

Coronavirus (COVID-19) -Â Great British Spring Clean guidance
The aim of the Great British Spring Clean is for communities to come together, clean up their local environment and have fun, which of course means staying safe at all times.
Given the UK Chief Medical Officers have now raised the coronavirus (COVID-19) risk to the UK from moderate to high, its only sensible that volunteers engaging in the Great British Spring Clean take extra hygiene precautions to prevent the spread of this, or any other, preventable illness.
Do not attend a clean-up if you feel unwell or are showing cold or flu like symptoms, stay home to protect yourself and others.Â
Keep Britain Tidy asks that you undertake your clean-up events in line with the advice being issued by Public Health England (PHE). In particular, participants are asked to use the following guidelines:
- Wear gloves during the clean-up at all times
- Wash your hands thoroughly for 20 seconds before and after your event
- Event organisers are advised to provide hand sanitiser for participants where possible or sign post to accessible hand washing facilities
- Clean and disinfect regularly touched objects, such as litter pickers, using your regular cleaning products
- Stay at least 2 metres (about 3 steps) away from other people whenever possible
Being part of the Great British Spring Clean is a wonderful way to show you care about your local environment but to have fun, as well as to make a difference, it is important to stay safe and take these simple precautions to make your event a success.
We will continue to monitor Government announcements and update our advice on this page as the situation evolves.
