At last nights  ZOOM video streaming meeting 13 members attended, this is the first meeting held on the platform since the COVID-19 restrictions came uinto effect.
The meeting mainly discussed how to support and promoted ‘Local Businesses’ in our town now that most will be able to trade as from 04th July.
‘The Shop Local’ campaign with various advertising is ongoing, and it is really important that local bussinesses are supported…..otherwise it will be Use It or Loose It…..

Please note – I do not own or run any business – I have been a member of the Whittlesey Business Forum since it was re-established – I campaign to promote our local businesses and to network with the owners.

A very elderly neighbour called us yesterday, worried he had developed an ulcer on the back of his lower leg, both him and his wife are over 90.
My wife Connie (Ex Nurse/Stroke Manager) got kitted up and went to eveluate him.
She called 111 and after the inital information was passed on, was contacted back within 15 minutes by the NHS on call doctor. After a second round of assessment – he arranged for a ‘Paramedic’ to visit.
Within 1½ hours of the neighbour contacting us, the Paramedic arrived at his house.
He arranged electronically for a prescription to be issued.
Within 2 hours of the neighbour contacting us – The on call Local Pharmacy delivered the medication.

I well appreciate it all depends on how busy the NHS are and the resources available, but this was a fantastic response to what was not really an urgent situation.
Well done…
