Relaxation of lockdown in Uffington. The Parish Council is pleased to be able to state that the children's playground will re-open on Saturday 4 July. The Government has required us to put a number of safeguards in place, so a risk assessment has been carried out and is available on the website here: https://www.uffington.net/parish-council/lists-and-registers/
The notice to be placed on the playground gates is attached here: https://mcusercontent.com/c90a1a7b6d1f693a28c947f92/files/cac06288-0f3a-483a-9869-91c5ab03ceae/Coronavirus_playground_open_notice_.pdf
Please read the notice. Parents are particularly requested to note that they are responsible for observing the restriction on numbers of children in the playground at any one time (9, at present), for ensuring the appropriate degree of social distancing (2 metres apart where possible, at present) and for all to use sanitising hand gel or wipes on entry and exit to the playground.
Medication. Bulk collection of medication and delivery to Uffington Shop from the White Horse Medical Practice in Faringdon will recommence on Monday 6 July. If anybody is unable or unwilling to collect their own medication from the Shop, please contact your local member of the UBW Support Group, Simon Jenkins, Mike Oldnall or Tina Monk (01367 820878).
If you do pick up a package on behalf of someone else, you are able to sign on the patient's behalf when you collect it from the Shop. Please sign at that point with a legible signature. The name and address of the patient will be on the packet.

Staying safe near water. As the weather heats up, the rivers and lakes may look more tempting to go for a dip. However, it is important to stay safe. Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue service have put together some information warning about the potential risks of open water, how to stay safe; and what to do if someone gets into trouble in the water.
