Covid 19 Car Sharing Advice

One in three people don’t have any symptoms of coronavirus, and it can easily spread in the small enclosed space of a vehicle. So avoid car sharing with those outside your household or support bubble. Think twice before getting a lift to work with colleagues or taking a friend or relative grocery shopping or to a medical appointment, unless they are part of your household or support bubble.

If you have to car share, please follow these simple steps to reduce the risk of spreading the virus:

😷 Everyone should wear face coverings

↔️       Sit as far apart as possible

‍♀️        Share with the same small group of people each time

💨 Open windows for ventilation

           Wash or sanitise your hands before and after your journey

           Clean the car between journeys, paying attention to touch points such as door handles.

Managing our workforce

During the pandemic, the number of people on the Hinkley Point C site will be limited by the many measures in place to ensure the safety of workers and the community. In the future, we hope that things will be able to return to normal without these constraints, but our approach will always put safety first.

When we look to the future, we do so with a better view of the number of jobs that will be created by the project. There is also a more detailed view of the phasing of different elements of the project. Latest estimates based on this information show that the number of people working on the project is likely to peak at around 8,500 towards the end of 2022 – assuming normal conditions.

Experience gained in the first four years of construction gives the project confidence that these numbers can be well managed.

Investment in skills and training means that many local people will benefit from these extra job opportunities available in the next few years.

We are committed to ensuring that the community understands our latest plans for future workforce development and will be running a series of virtual engagement events in early February.

Food Offers for the Parish

Stogursey Community Network has been offered a regular supply of food for distribution to the Parish such as dried pasta, rice, cereal, tinned foods etc.
This is provided by Fareshare Bristol (you can read about their work here: https://faresharesouthwest.org.uk), basically they prevent waste by redistributing food that would otherwise be thrown away. All the food provided is in date and perfect.
Before they accept this generous offer and undertake to store and distribute this food in our community they would like to check that there are people who would take up this opportunity.
  • If you are finding finances rather tight at the moment, this could help you,
  • If you have children at home all day, ‘eating you out of house and home’, this could help you,
  • If you know of anyone else who you think would benefit from a regular bagful of food supplies, this could help them.
Please let SCN know.
They can, and do, deliver food safely to people’s homes, or you could collect (and choose) food items yourself, by prior arrangement.
This is a wonderful offer, but they do NOT want waste!
Get in touch with them by Facebook Messenger –  Stogursey Community Network
or phone us on 01278 732149, in total confidence.
They need to hear from you ASAP!
