Rosemary Powell, County Councillor for Whissendine Ward reports:
Many residents of Whissendine and Teigh have now received their first COVID-19 vaccination. Feedback I have received is that the centre at Catmose is working very efficiently to administer the vaccine and I would like to thank everyone who has volunteered to help in this effort. In the next few months people should be starting to receive their second doses and many more residents will have been vaccinated. Good news indeed! Please do not forget that you are not fully protected until you have had both vaccinations.
A big thank you too to volunteers who are litter picking around the village. Sadly, there seems to be quite a lot of litter in our roadside hedgerows and verges which seems to have been thrown out of vehicles. So do consider picking up some litter when you are out for daily exercise, as long as you can do this in a COVID safe way and do not put yourself in any danger from traffic. We shouldn’t have to do this but it does really improve our environment.
