Lifting of Plan B Restrictions

The Government announced that Plan B restrictions would be lifted on February 24th, meaning there is no longer a legal requirement to wear a face covering.

For our Community Hall it is more important than ever that vulnerable people, those who feel more cautious and those who have suffered as a result of isolation during the last two years, feel confident using the community hall, in order to improve mental health and wellbeing. This is particularly important for their usual, regular activities.

Therefore the government suggests you continue to wear a face-covering in crowded and enclosed spaces where you may come into contact with other people you do not normally meet.

In addition, we encourage our hirers to observe the following measures.

Let fresh air in if meeting indoors by opening a window for ten minutes. (This has also been shown to reduce risk of catching other airborne diseases such as flu).

Maintain social distancing as far as possible from anyone you do not have regular contact with. Respect the fact that others may wish to take a more cautious approach.

Clean your hands often, avoid touching your face, nose or eyes. “Catch it, bin it, Kill it”. 

The hall will retain some of the measures already in place. The hand sanitiser stations will remain and we will continue with more frequent cleaning of regularly touched surfaces, so that people feel comfortable returning to the hall.

Thank you for your continued support.
