Message from your local Hyson Green & Arboretum ward Councillors

We know the last couple of months have been unprecedented but we would like to thank you for your resilience during this time and for helping slow the spread of the virus by following the Government rules.

In Hyson Green and Arboretum we, as your local councillors, have been liaising with council officers to keep up to date with the latest information and continuing to support residents.

Our ward have some very resourceful residents and groups who are willing to go the extra mile, picking up shopping and prescriptions for those unable to leave the house. Local businesses across the ward have also offered support during this time of need.One thing that has been essential for vulnerable people is the meals being provided by local volunteers out of the Basford Community Centre.

Over the VE Bank Holiday weekend we helped provide 70 hot meals for vulnerable people in our area. It is very heart warming, knowing that people are willing to give up their time to help others and this work is particularly important as peoples incomes are hit hard by the crisis.

Finally we would also like to pass on our heartfelt thanks to all those NHS staff, key workers: volunteers and carers. We are grateful for the work they are doing to help protect vulnerable people in our community, often putting themselves at risk.We hope everyone shares our gratitude for them and their work.

Please continue to follow the latest guidance and stay safe during this time.

"Cllr Merlita Bryan, Cllr Jawaid Khalil and Cllr Azad Choudhary"
