VE Day 75th Anniversary - Robertsbridge Friday 8th May 2020
7th May 2020

 

Please keep everyone safe and celebrate this special anniversary at home. Enjoy your day!

 

Robertsbridge British Legion are not permitted to hold a public official event to mark this anniversary. They plan to share photos/videos of wreath laying at the war memorial and of their standard bearers dipping their standards outside their homes tomorrow.

 

In line with the message to STAY AT HOME we ask you to CELEBRATE THIS ANNIVERSARY AT HOME, observing social distancing with any neighbours.

 

Here are a few ideas:

 

* Put up the flags and bunting, and join in the Royal British Legion's livestream

* At 11am pause for a 2-minute silence,

* At 3pm join the nation's toast to the heroes of WW2

* At 6.30pm sing "We'll meet again" in your home/at your doorstep (see Katy Shuttleworth's post on Robertsbridge Family Information for the words)

* At 8pm watch the BBC One musical celebration

* At 9pm watch the Queen's speech to the nation on BBC One.

Collecting Prescriptions

Anyone, of any age, whether self- isolating or not, can use the Robersbridge Helping Hands Prescription Team. This team has been set up to collect prescriptions for all local residents during the Coronavirus Pandemic. As well as helping you it helps to reduce the number of people visiting the dispensaries, keeping everyone safe.

 

Contact the team by emailing David Todd at davidrtodd@hotmail.com, or phoning 07726 592 739

 

A message from Nick Brown - Chairman of the Parish Council - 9 April 2020
9th April 2020

 

Hello everyone. The Parish Council continues to work in partnership with Robertsbridge Helping Hands to support all our residents during the Coronavirus Crisis.

 

For the safety of all of us I would like to ask you all to continue to observe social distancing, particularly when using the village shops. The Parish Council owns a number of green spaces including Bishops Meadow, the Recreation Ground , Pocket Park, Jubilee Garden and Pipers Field which remain open for daily exercise (the Clappers Playground unfortunately cannot be considered open due to the nature of the play equipment). Latest information and support can be found on the Helping Hands website at http://www.robertsbridgehelpinghands.co.uk/. Almost every residential address in the parish has been allocated a street champion, who can help those who are self-isolating. If you do not know who this is, or you are in an outlying area, please contact Helping Hands on 07726 592 739 if you need to.

 

Should you need to pick up any prescriptions, we have introduced a new initiative in collaboration with the pharmacies and doctors' surgeries. This will reduce the number of people visiting them but also help everyone to get their prescription as quickly and safely as possible. The service is completely confidential. Please contact the Helping Hands Prescriptions Team, who will arrange collection and delivery to you: please email: davidrtodd@hotmail.com or ring 07726 592 739.

 

Over the past few weeks I think we have all been struck by the enormous reservoirs of goodwill, patience, tolerance and good humour which exist in the parish. The generosity and camaraderie which has been offered has been both overwhelming and very moving. This is an unprecedented and unsettling situation. We are all worried about our loved ones. We all know someone who is at risk or who is working in difficult and demanding circumstances. Let's continue to be considerate and tolerant towards each other and use our time outside the home wisely and effectively.

 

All of us on the Parish Council and at Helping Hands wish you all a safe and healthy Easter weekend.
