Good afternoon everyone,

Please read the following statements from HDC and share this message amongst our volunteers and CARESCO community and on our social media platforms if you have access to them. This should be treated with the upmost importance. 

We have been asked by HDC to highlight the following community health message and ask that members be vigilant and take note of Public Health/CCC/HDC messages relating to this area of concern.

“The overall admission rates at Hinchingbrooke Hospital related to Covid-19 are not declining at the rate we would, at this stage, expect and there are some hotspots emerging from patients with symptoms who are presenting at primary care (largely GPs and community pharmacies). These concentrations are found in Huntingdon, St Neots and Sawtry. 

It is essential that we get strong messages out to residents in these areas to continue to follow the advice from our health experts of working from home wherever possible, maintaining social distancing and avoiding non-essential travel. Could you please use your local communication channels to get this message to your residents?”

We would ask you to re-iterate and re-inforce the community health message in your local areas please:

  • Stay at home as much as possible
  • Work from home if you can
  • Limit contact with other people
  • Keep your distance if you have to go out – (2 metres apart where possible)
  • Wash your hands regularly
  • Do not leave home if you, or anyone within your household, have symptoms. 

Please stay safe and be careful. 

Many thanks and kind regards,

Emma Flanz

Summer Opening of Byway 33

Summer Opening of Byway 33

Many local residents will know that Sawtry Byway 33 – the Bullock Road that links Milking Slade Lane, Great Gidding with Gidding Road, Sawtry, is usually open during the drier months from April until October every year.

The gates controlling access to Byway 33 have only very recently been opened to the public, but may be closed at short notice at any time. Please note that access to all local Byways are solely controlled by Cambridgeshire County Council and the “Rights of Way” officers will make the decisions regarding when the Byway gates are open to the public.

Clearly, right of way access to historic Byways is very important to many in our local communities, and if there are any queries regarding Byway access, then please contact the Rights of Way Officer for Huntingdonshire directly.

Paul’s record breaking armour challenge

Paul's record breaking armour challenge

Walking round the village yesterday we were confronted by the strangest sight!

Paul Beddows Pauls record breaking armour challenge

Paul Beddows Pauls record breaking armour challenge

This is Paul’s story:

Through my time in the Army I’ve seen some of the incredible things that SSAFA does to help both serving personnel and veterans. Whilst I’ve not needed their help yet who knows what the future may hold.

To give back to this amazing charity I’ve decided it is time to properly challenge myself, so on 22nd April 18 I’ll be competing in the London Marathon in a full suit of Gothic plate armour. As part of my challenge I’ve decided to try and break the world record for the fastest marathon in a suit of armour, this currently stands at 6hr 46mins 59sec.

I’ve completed 4 Ironman Triathlons so am not a stranger to endurance events; however, I think this is without a doubt my craziest and hardest challenge to date.

I’ll be posting regular updates both here and on my FB so people can follow my training progress. Any support you can give will be hugely appreciated
