An emergency response for people living in west Cheshire has been launched to support those vulnerable groups at higher risk from serious complications as a result of COVID-19 infection.
The government is now advising people with the most serious underlying conditions to remain in strict isolation, to protect themselves and the NHS. Councils across the country have now established local hubs, to support people to access food, medical supplies and social support. This has been achieved by co-ordinating work between front-line council and NHS staff, partner agencies, local and national businesses and volunteers. Over 1500 people have responded to Cheshire West and Chester’s call for a community response, to help ensure that physical distancing doesn’t need to mean social isolation.
Household Waste Recycling Centres are closed
Cheshire West and Chester Council and its partners HM Martins have taken the decision to close all household waste recycling centres in the borough until further notice.
Residents are asked to keep bulky items, DIY waste and other waste they usually take to the recycling centre stored safely at home until the sites re open. Residents are asked not to put items out with the kerbside collections as they will not be collected.
Dropping items outside a closed HWRC or on any public space will be classed as fly tipping.

Easter In Isolation - The parish Church Of St John, Kingsley
EASTER IN ISOLATION
As I sit writing this, the sun is shining and we are
at the end of the first week of isolation.
How quiet everywhere is, no planes passing, very
little traffic on the main road a couple of fields away.
Ball Lane however is busier than usual with walkers,
horses and cyclists all cheerily waving as they pass.

‘How can we sing the Lord’s Song in a strange land’ Psalm 137
Our doors may be closed but we are still open for business as we learn to do church in a different way during this unprecedented situation we find ourselves in
The Archbishop’s write –
‘Being a part of the Church of England is going to look very different in the days ahead. Our life is going to be less characterised by attendance at church on Sunday, and more characterised by the prayer and service we offer each day. We may not be able to pray with people in the ways that we used to, but we can certainly pray for people. And we can certainly offer practical care and support. Then by our service, and by our love, Jesus Christ will be made known, and the hope of the gospel – a hope that can counter fear and isolation – will spread across our land’
We are urged to become a different sort of church in these coming months: hopeful and rooted in the offering of prayer and praise and over flowing in the service to the world.
If you are isolated in any way and would like some help with shopping or medication collection then please contact Sam Kimpton Smith

Normally in a crisis the church is the place people come to for prayer and support . With this virus we have a duty of care to protect people and to keep physical contact to a minimum. Even touching a pew that someone else has touched could pass on the virus as we don’t always know who has the illness.
Therefore for everyone’s safety the Church and Church Halls must remain closed for the foreseeable future.
Funerals will be at graveside only with just immediate family present maximum of 5 people including the clergy. Weddings - clergy, bride and groom and the two witnesses making a maximum of 5 people Baptisms are suspended for the time being.
Our website is the best way of getting information and we will be updating this as and when we get information to share. http://www.nck.org.uk
We look forward to the time when we can once again open the doors and come together as a worshiping community. We are holding our communities in prayer
‘May the peace of God which passes all understanding keep our hearts and minds in knowledge and love of God’
