Suffolk towns get £41k to help prevent winter Covid spread

Karen Chapman, Suffolk Growth Partnership manager, said: "Working with Public Health colleagues, Suffolk Growth is pleased to be able to support our town centres in minimising the risk of Covid during their festive activities and events.

Funding could be used to help support adaptations of local facilities, equipment and communications and also preventative management activities for events such as Christmas fayres and lights celebrations.Haverhill Town Council said it was "very grateful for the continuing support being given to market towns across Suffolk by local strategic bodies".

Halesworth Town Council said it was "delighted" to have been awarded a £5,000 grant which would be used to install bespoke video-conferencing equipment. "Many people are still not comfortable with attending meetings with others, particularly in confined spaces and this situation may continue for some time to come," said town clerk Nick Rees.
