As a result of the Coronavirus outbreak, Governments have joined together to put in place measures to help stop the spread of this virus, to help, particularly, those who may be more vulnerable or elderly, as well as our health system. These measures are vital and based on advice from the Chief Health Officer. By all doing our part, it will make a big difference.

As a result of this unprecedented crisis we are now facing, workers are hurting, and businesses are struggling. This is not business as usual and Governments across the Nation are banding together to provide them with support. This will not be easy. We know this, I know this.

As your local MP, I would like to help where I can to support café’s, restaurants and other businesses where possible. As such I will be collating a list of all those businesses who continue to operate and are able to provide a service that abides by the social distancing measures put in place. I.e. – Have a takeaway or delivery service available or where you can order online from them.

Please note: If advice changes on requirements around social distancing or other measures, then this may have to change. I will inform you if this does occur.
