The announcement today, Monday 23^rd March, from the Prime Minister has given some clear instructions that relate directly to St Breward Stores. Boris Johnson has instructed everyone to ONLY leave home for:
* shopping
* one form of exercise a day
* any medical need
* Travelling to and from work
Guidance from The Post Office this evening identified Postmasters and Post Office staff as key workers. Therefore, St Breward Stores & Post Office will still be open but on reduced hours.
Our new opening hours are:
Monday – Saturday: 7:30am – 12:00 noon  Sunday: 9am – 12 noon
Our Mobile Post Office will continue with its existing schedule with no change – this is still classed as an essential service.
As the Prime Minister has prohibited gatherings in public of more than two people who do not live together, we therefore ask for a ‘one in, one out’ policy in both the shop and the Mobile Post Office. This not only ensures that you keep yourself other customers safe, but also our staff.

DELIVERIES: As some of you may have heard, Malcolm Barnecutt Bakery closed today, Monday 23rd March, until further notice. This means there are no bread and cake deliveries at present. We are looking urgently into other suppliers who may be able to supply us.
We are not sure until tomorrow (at least) about newspaper deliveries, milk deliveries, meat deliveries and fruit / vegetables. We will be contacting all of our suppliers tomorrow and will update you all shortly.
With regards to our main supplier (Bookers), who supply many of our ambient and chilled produce, these are very limited at the moment therefore we cannot guarantee what is in the shop, but please be assured we are doing our very best to keep the shop stocked with all of the essentials.

Thank you for your co-operation and understanding. Please stay safe. Please pass this information onto any elderly or vulnerable who may not have access to the website, Facebook or emails

Message from Cornwall Association of Local Councils

Are you visiting  Cornwall? Have you just arrived? If you choose to go against government advice and not go home, then please stay in your holiday home/ accommodation

                     AND SELF-ISOLATE FOR 7 DAYS

Cornwall has ONE hospital for the whole county and we have an elderly population. We will struggle to cope with the Coronavirus outbreak as it is without the pressure of many more people.

Get provisions in, stay at ‘home’ and spread the word:

• Don’t go out
• Don’t go to the shops
• Don’t go for a walk
• Don’t pop to the beach
• Don’t take the dog out
• Don’t nip out to watch the sunset
• Don’t check the surf
• Stay at home

Thank you for helping to protect this community.

Official HM Government advice: essential travel does NOt include visits to second homes, camp sites, caravan parks or similar whether for isolation purposes or holidays. people should remain in their primary residence. Not to do so puts additional pressure on communities and services that are already at risk.

The Old Inn is NOT open for take-aways this weekend, further info early next week.

Nic’s Mobile Catering at the Football Club: open today (Sat) 5 – 9.30pm for take-aways, pre-ordering helpful. Sunday Lunch take-aways 12 noon – 3pm, pre-booking essential 07462 137100

Yesterday, a group comprising Parish Councillors, St Breward Stores & Post Office and some community members was set up to discuss how our community could be cared for during the on-going Covid-19 emergency, particularly ensuring that the elderly and vulnerable have access to the things they need.

1. The vulnerable: a list of individuals who may require assistance is being drawn up, whether for delivery of essential items, collection of essential medical prescriptions or anything else considered essential. If you know of someone, please contact Veronica Stansfield at community@stbreward.net to ensure that the individual is added to the list.

2. Volunteers: anyone who would be willing to help out with practical assistance and meets the following criteria:

a) being fit & healthy     b) have no underlying health conditions c) not sharing a household with someone showing symptoms, however mild, or currently isolating     d) under 70 years of age
