Coronavirus: advice for neighbours from Community Protection

We're all experiencing unprecedented challenges as a community at the moment due to coronavirus. Our Community Protection team is urging everyone to be considerate of their neighbours while the government requires us to stay at home.

We're all having to adapt quickly to a new and unexpected way of life, and everyone will at some time find the imposed changes difficult. It's at times like this when we'll need to be more considerate of how our actions affect neighbours and to be more tolerant of their behaviours.

Community Protection are here to help if you're experiencing disturbances from noise, but please do all you can to be good neighbours, particularly during these stressful times. 

We’re seeing some great examples of communities pulling together despite the challenges we're all facing, but please remember and adhere to the government rules - you can't visit friends or even relatives to socialise. If we receive reports of gatherings we'll pass them to the police.

For information about staying at home and social distancing, take a look at our coronavirus pages and the Gov.uk website.

Let’s all pull together and stay at home, protect the NHS and save lives.
