Dear parents / carers

Please see below an update received from Council.

Do you live in Hadley, Leegomery, or Bank?

If yes, we are asking you to get Covid-19 tested as soon as possible!

The infection rate in our borough remains low – however, in these areas, the case numbers are slightly higher compared to the rest. 1 in 3 people have no coronavirus symptoms but could be spreading the virus. Getting tested helps keep you and the rest of your community safe. We want to do all we can to reduce the case numbers further so please play your part!
