MORE LOCAL VIGILANCE STILL REQUIRED ! As we move forward into yet another trying week of self isolations and enforced stays at home for many families, I believe that we need to uphold our vigilance in looking after local vulnerable people, and also those who do not consider home security important.

Just a quick update! Immingham recycling centre is currently closed due to manning problems, and the Grimsby recycling centre is only accepting food wastes. This will inevitably result in people who have no scruples deciding to fly tip wherever they can. Please look out for, and report, any areas where this is taking place, hopefully […]
News is coming in that police forces could well be challenging people, hopefully in a standard manner countrywide, to prove why they are away from home, and new legislation states that fines can be made to those who go out and about with no good reason.

There is a huge proliferation of advice with the current crisis, but when asked to forward police information on here, I have no problem with publishing at their request. It just shows how low some people will stoop to rob those who rely on honest information. Stay safe, but be aware of scams!

Who on earth thought that one up ? Stay apart on your own, without this person assisting you […]
I have to admit that, although not having to self isolate myself, I am striving to stay at home as much as possible, if not assisting NHW shopping requests. Having 2 allotments is brilliant, as access is still currently allowed as part of my daily exercise. Having been flooded out of the plots since October, […]
News this morning has NEL area Covid 19 cases up to 39 confirmed. Is this not now enough information for people to understand that self isolation does not mean several trips to the shops, allowing children off school attendance not to be roaming the streets with their mates, not having friends or neighbours in your […]

If, like me, at this current time, you are still fit and well, with no symptoms, then please consider becoming a volunteer within the borough, to assist others who may be self isolated through no fault of their own, apart from ongoing health problems that makes them safer if not in contact with other people.
