Horncastle Town Council: ‘We are doing everything we can’

The council is already supporting the ‘Crisis team’ set up by Horncastle Community Larder, the Urban Outreach Project (UFOP) and local businesses.

It is providing £1,000 per month to purchase food for the town’s vulnerable residents who have been advised to self-isolate until the crisis is over.

The Crisis Team will be assisting residents from Horncastle and the surrounding small villages.

If you need a prescription collecting then please contact the town council.

Staff are working with a team of volunteers to collect prescriptions from the two pharmacies in the town and deliver them to homes.

The Town Council has also offered the support of its staff and works vehicle to help deliver supplies and prescriptions.

The decision has been made to postpone events scheduled for the next couple of months, including all council meetings, community clear ups, the Annual Town Meeting and staff courses to try and avoid spreading the virus.

In addition, the Town Council Office has been closed for face to face meetings.
