Community Hub
A group of volunteers have kindly established this to offer help for those whose health could be severely affected by Covid-19
and need to self-isolate for at least 12 weeks. They hope this will also support those without the serious health issues but who
have to self-isolate and have no friends, family or network to support them.
Support offered by the hub may be:
l a friendly, regular call to check and prevent loneliness/solation as much as possible
l picking up urgent items such as food or medical supplies
If anyone in Newington needs this, they should call or text 07494 729655 or email Newingtonhelp@gmail.com . Details will
be taken and they will try to source a volunteer to assist.

committee on Tuesday July 21st at 7.00pm, and the next full council meeting is on
Tuesday 28th of July. The public are welcome to attend and ask questions during our
ten minute agenda slot. For details on how to attend please contact: The Clerk, Mrs

Play tender
As you may be aware, Newington Parish Council’s procurement of new equipment for the play area on the Rec was postponed
due to the Covid-19 Coronavirus pandemic. We are happy to announce that this tendering process will begin afresh towards
the end of June. Whilst timescales have unavoidably been pushed back, we hope to have the new equipment installed by early
in the new year.
