I have been available throughout the two lock-downs, but I will be taking a complete break over Christmas.

There will be no “live” updates to the website or social media channels from Tuesday 22nd December to Tuesday 5th January. Scheduled content will appear at intervals.

I will not be processing emails to the website during this time, nor will I be accepting Facebook messages. In the unlikely event of a local emergency, I will obviously review this.

I have asked local businesses to share their Christmas opening times with me, and if these are provided before I close, these will be shared on the site. A listing of the businesses can be found here if you wish to make your own enquiries.

A number of changes are coming in relation to how I manage the website & social media channels and these will be shared in the next few days.

I acknowledge that people also use the Facebook Page for lost and found pets, but I do need a full break and I have to take one.

I hope that everyone keeps safe and well over the Christmas break and that 2021 is kinder to us all.
