Update Tuesday 5th January 2021:

• The town council offices are closed to the public, but we are working and receiving calls 01373 822232 and emails info@westburytowncouncil.gov.uk The public can call us during office hours 9.00 to 17.00 (Mon to Thurs) and 9.00 to 16.30 (Fri).
• The town council continues to support the food operation (currently operating from Crosspoint) and the food bank. People who are not already known to us and need this help can call us on 01373 822232.
• We will be asking for volunteers to come forward to help support those who are vulnerable or shielding. The town council will continue to coordinate this service.
• We will work with our partners to provide a joined-up service. This will include (among others) Wiltshire Council, Crosspoint, White Horse Ministry.
• We are carefully sifting through the government guidance to fully understand the detail. This includes if some specific support groups who use the Laverton meet the criteria to continue. We will be notifying clients in due course.
• Our initial understanding is public toilets and play areas can continue to stay open, but the adult outdoor gym will remain closed.
• The town council will meet next Monday 14^th January at 19.00. It is important to note that some of the above will be discussed and the situation may change, depending on the view of the council.
• The town council has been overwhelmed by the generosity of local business, groups and individuals who have made so many donations. The town council has and continues to redistribute food to those who need it most. Despite the difficulties we continue to face, Westbury is a fantastic community to live and work in.
