CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC
The coronavirus pandemic has obviously driven all other issues such as CLOUD and the Local Plan out of consideration. In line with government advice we will not be arranging any CLOUD general meetings for the duration of the crisis. We will conduct what business we need to do by email in order to minimise social contact. If and when there is anything major to report, for example in connection with the Inspector’s report on the Local Plan, we will issue Newsbriefs.
We are continuing to monitor the council website for any relevant developments, but, as of the date of this newsbrief, there is nothing new to report.
In the meantime all we can do is to wish all CLOUD supporters well and trust that you manage to avoid catching the virus. As you may already be aware, volunteers have organised support groups in Galgate and in Lancaster for those facing particular difficulties during the pandemic. In addition Lancaster city council has set up a page on its website offering advice and information and appealing for ideas and offers of help. http://www.lancaster.gov.uk/news/2020/mar/2million-to-support-communities-and-businesses-through-coronavirus-crisis
