In line with advice from the Government, the Village Hall, Parish Office and both play areas (Bradburns Lane and Parker Avenue) remain closed. However, residents are able to seek advice from the Parish Clerk by emailing her on clerk@hartfordparishcouncil.org.uk. Phone messages can be left on the office answer machine 01606 784401, which is checked regularly. All enquiries will be dealt with.

Although Council meetings at the Village Hall are not possible, virtual meetings of the Parish Council will take place monthly until restrictions are lifted. The next virtual meeting will be held on Monday, 8th June at 7.30pm. Residents are able to log onto the meeting and instructions will be on the Council Website News section. Please note that residents cannot join a meeting until 7.30pm and may be denied access before then.

We are attempting to add important information on our website and any contributions are welcome.

This is obviously still a very concerning time for all residents. It is important that we keep a check on the more vulnerable in our community, particularly those who are unable to get to the shops. It is very important that people do not feel isolated and regular contact with neighbours, friends and family by phone, email or social media is really important.

Chair, Hartford Parish Council, Monday, 8th May, 2020.
