News - Closure of open spaces
You'll begin to see some posters in some areas of open space around the parish informing the public these areas are closed for the time being. This isn't something we would choose to do and is in response to the governments latest instructions. We understand how important green space is to our community, even more so at the moment and as soon as we are able to lift the restrictions, we will do so without delay.
Whilst people continue to ignore the guidance, putting themselves and others at risk, we will continue to do everything we can to keep people safe.
New community group initiatives
Out of adversity theres always good and we are very privileged and humbled to have the help of two fantastic community groups in our parish;
COVID - 19 Oakthorpe Support Group focusing on supporting the community of Oakthorpe
Donisthorpe Coronavirus Help Group a partnership between the Donisthorpe Community Group and the Neighbourhood Watch Group focusing on supporting the community of Donisthorpe.
Both groups are entirely managed and run by volunteers from the villages giving their own time to support people who are isolated or vulnerable and we thank them for their work to support the community.
Currently there is no support group in Acresford and if you know someone who needs support or interested in setting up a support group please contact the parish council at clerk@odapc, via FB private messaging or contact one of the parish councillors.
We'll keep you updated as the situation develops and in the meantime; stay safe, stay well and keep a look out for your family, friends and neighbours...from a safe distance!
