We are still being called out to increased numbers of bonfires. If planning gardening projects, please
consider the amount of waste they can produce and whether it can be composted. Please avoid burn-
ing garden waste. Bonfires can easily spread out of control. #NorthantsTogether Facebook 17th April
Northamptonshire Police- Coronavirus Update
Northamptonshire Police
Coronavirus Update
Hello,
The aim of this message is to reassure you and the community in the current climate of International
uncertainty.
I guess the question is how does Coronavirus affect the current Sponsorship PCSO role. Having spo-
ken to my line manager currently it is business as normal (or as normal as it can be in uncertain
times).
A number of back office Police Support staff have been asked to work from home, and those who
need to work in buildings like our Justice Centre at Brackmills or our Response Hub at Daventry have
been spread out to sites such as Towcester Station to minimise spread of infection.
I am working out of Towcester myself, the reason for this is to reduce my need to use our Force wifi
network, giving room for other essential users who may need to work from home.
I will still patrol around both Bugbrooke and Nether Heyford and these will be a mixture of both foot
and vehicle patrols. Liaising with local business and ensuring social distancing measures are com-
plied with. From being on patrol yesterday I noted many people were trying to avoid one another with-
out the need for draconian enforcement.
Obviously we have had to suspend Community Surgeries for the time being, the locations where
these are held are closed for the forseable anyway.
I will not be visiting people unless there is a specific operational need to. Out of respect will try to
avoid those who may fall into the governments category of elderly or vulnerable.
I am available on the phone by dialing 101 extension 345806, my phone is on if I am on duty. Alterna-
tively you can email me Matt.Taylor@northants.pnn.police.uk.
If you wish to report a crime or incident to us, if there is no haste it is recommended you do this online
at www.northants.police.uk. I will see crimes recorded on the ward on the daily briefing that I am pro-
vided with. Obviously you can do this by phone on either 101 or 999 if the matter is more time critical.
Please be mindful of what you share on social media, there are a lot of sources of false information,
they only serve to fuel peoples worries and concerns. Please use the latest government briefings at
www.gov.uk/coronavirus for any updates.
Please feel free to share my twitter account @pcsomatthew so you can see some of my activities.
Importantly stay safe, stay well.
Kind Regards,
Matthew

Village food distribution
Bugbrooke Food Distribution Scheme: many thanks to all the volunteers that collected, packed and
delivered the food boxes to 54 homes yesterday. Also to Northamptonshire Community Foundation
for the grant of £3,000 for the purchase of a stock of non-perishable goods, and to South Northants
Food and Education Alliance, who organised the delivery of boxes to enable us to supplement the
supermarket collections. Dave Clayson, Facebook 2nd April
Bugbrooke Food Distribution Scheme -We began the operation of our surplus food distribution schemein July of last year. We collect from Aldi, Tesco and Waitrose stores twice a week.
Given the recent restrictions on movements, we are switching to a delivery system with effect from Friday,
27th March.
If there are any villagers that are suffering hardship as a result of the current emergency, then please con-
tact me to discuss how we may help.
David Clayson Contact details:dave.clayson@gmail.com 07802 333908 26th March 2020
Bugbrooke Surplus Food Scheme: we will be opening tomorrow, as usual, 5.00-5.30pm. Visitors must
queue outside at least 2 metres apart (if you do not do so, you will be asked to leave!), and will be invited
in one at a time. Thereafter, we will be running a delivery only service, so those attending tomorrow will be
able to fill in a form to request the service. We will be coordinating this service with the Bugbrooke Volun-
teer initiatives. The Parish Council will be financially supporting both services - many thanks for their help.

Bugbrooke Surplus Food Distribution Scheme: I am excited to tell you that the Church Council (the team
that are responsible for St Michael and All Angels Church) has just donated £10,000 to support all the ef-
forts to help those most affected by the current crisis. The funds are being taken from those set aside for
the maintenance and repair of the Sunday School buildings (over £30,000 has had to be spent on them in
the last 2 years). The money will go to support any expansion of the food distribution scheme that may
bDe required, to buy ingredients for Phillippa and her team if they need to cook and distribute food, to
Louise's volunteer army, and to those who may have problems before the Government's support packages
kick-in. Let me know if you, or anyone you know, is in that position. Thank you Church for your incredible
gift.—facebook - Dave Clayson 21st March
Bugbrooke Surplus Food Distribution: a big thank you to Heygates for 410kgs of flour for us to use to sup-
port villagers through the crisis. We, the Cafe and Louise's new volunteer army will be working together to
do everything we can to help those who need it - facebook Dave Clayson 19th March

Feedback—
I just had a video conference appointment with a Dr at Bugbrooke medical practice. It was abso-
lutely fantastic and really easy to do! Well done Bugbrooke surgery for adapting so quickly and ef-
fectively to all that is going on in the world! What a great service! - facebook Sarah Wilcox 24th

Latest from the Pharmacy
Unprecedented times means unprecedented measures.
Which is why I have taken the decision to open Bugbrooke Pharmacy on Good Friday and Bank
Holiday Monday from 10-5pm. I will be running with minimal staff to allow the team to have a much
needed physical and mental rest and we will not be offering our delivery service as well as having
the Post Office closed over those two days.
From Tuesday 14th April I have decided to reduce the opening hours of the Post Office to 10.00-
17.00 so I can manage my team in the safest manner and limit non-essential visits which unfortu-
nately I have seen increase over the past week.
I would also like to remind everyone we are only taking card payments for the pharmacy and the
Post office. The only exceptions being with the Post Office where cash deposits and for those who
need to top up their gas or electricity cards being allowed.
Finally, being limited in size and struggling to enforce safe distancing I have decided to limit access
to the pharmacy as well as the Post Office to one person at a time.
Thank you for your understanding over this difficult time and I would like to wish yourself and your
loved ones all the best.
Stay home. Protect the NHS. Save lives.
Kind regards

Public transport situation
Stagecoach Revised timetables in operation from Monday 30th March 2020
Following the Prime Ministers announcement imposing further restrictions on movements on Monday
23rd March, we have had to review the services that were due to come into effect from 30th March.
Instead, we will run a level of service similar to Sundays with additional journeys added early morn-
ing and in the evening to cater for NHS staff and key worker shift patterns. We will also run a limited
service in areas that don’t have Sunday routes to avoid areas being cut off.
In line with the Prime Minister’s announcements we would ask our customers to only travel if essen-
tial for them to do so
D2, D3 Buses will run a Sunday service all week. On Monday to Saturday an additional journey will
run on D3 journey from Daventry to Northampton at 0739

Parish and District Council Information
Due to the current situation the Parish Council are not able to arrange an event at the Millennium
Green but we are planning something special for just before 3pm on the village Facebook page, in-
volving village residents honouring other residents, who died serving their country. We are also keen
to promote the ‘Stay at Home Street Party’. At 3pm on Friday 8th May, we would very much like to
encourage you all to still take part in the Nation’s Toast from the safety of your own homes to pay
tribute to all those who sacrificed so much for us. We would invite you to stand at 3pm and raise a
glass of refreshment of your choice and say the following toast: “For those that gave so much, we
thank you”.
Please remember if you take part you must stay at home and abide by the Governments social dis-
tancing advice at all times. Facebook 28th April
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
It has been reported that on the last two weekends, groups of youths have been seen congregating
at the Community Centre. This does not follow the Government guidelines to stay at home.
Anyone who witnesses this is requested to immediately phone the police on 101, who will then take
the appropriate action. Our PCSO is still patrolling the village. If he is on duty the controller will con-
tact him and he will attend, otherwise a different officer will visit and may fine those not maintaining
the social distancing regulations. Thank you to all those who are following the Governments advice.
Stay safe and stay at home facebook 17th April
