New Alresford Town Council
Coronavirus – Non medical support The Town Council together with PIGS, Churches Together and Rotary are setting up a support structure to assist those in need where friends, family and neighbours are unable to help. This is a collaborative initiative with local groups to care for our residents in the area and is supported by Winchester Rural Policing Team. This will include street co-ordinators across the town to help re-enforce the neighbourhood support, which we are in the process of creating .
The New Arlesford Coordination Hub will be open between 8am and 8pm and can be contacted via
Phone - 01962 674990 Email - nacordinationhub@gmail.com This will not replace the current support systems in place offered by other agencies but is aimed at those with a genuine need for additional measures in relation to the Coronavirus. New Alresford Town Council is monitoring government advice daily and will publish any additional information on the Council website (above) and Facebook page. Regularly updated information is available on Public Health England (www.gov.uk), NHS (www.nhs.uk), national tv and radio.
