COVID-19 GUIDANCE

Hi All,

As the days grow longer and the weather improves we will all have been looking forward to spending more time at the allotment. The ongoing situation with the Covid-19 virus means time at the allotment is more important that ever but it will require a little additional thought than it would normally.

While we usually try to keep things on here light-hearted and positive we must remember that some plot holders are at increased risk of severe illness from contracting Coronavirus and others will fall into the High Risk Category.  Some among us will have Family members who fall into one of these categories.  Many of the conditions that put people into these categories will not be visible.

The National Allotment Society has published some guidance on steps we can all take to do our bit to protect ourselves and the wider community.  Plot Holders must take the precautionary measures advised by the Government including:

• Observe 'Social Distancing' - keep 2-3 metres away from other plot holders
• Wash your hands regularly, and use hand sanitiser
• Minimise contact with others - no handshakes

It is important that any plot holder who is self isolating because they, or someone living in their household, is showing symptoms of Coronavirus does not visit the site under any circumstances.

If you wish to read the full guidance issued by the National Allotment Association you can find it here 

Fellow Plot Holders have offered help to those who are self-isolating or who have an increased, or High, Risk. If you need help please use the Contact Form on this page and we will do our best to arrange this for you.  If you are able to help please do the same.

An email has been sent to all those who have provided an address to the Committee; if you haven't received an email and wish to receive them in future please use the contact form on this page and we will update our records.

Lets hope we can enjoy a productive year on the Allotment.  We'll keep posting on here as the situation develops.  Stay safe everybody.
