Update 2nd April 2020
Dear all,
Update 2nd April, 2020
Covid-19 Coordination Hub – working with communities
The public sector has set up a Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Covid-19 Coordination Hub to work alongside community groups who are responding to the situation, and to provide help where there are gaps. They say it would be useful to have details of residents associations offering Covid-19 support so that they can co-ordinate requests for support that come into the Hub. The Hub is co-ordinating with the NHS to avoid overlap. The information needs to be as simple as possible, one set of contact details that the public can use to reach you, stating clearly the specific street/area covered. Link below

Cambridge Market
We have been asked to share this from the Market Traders (via Karen, Madingley Road RA, 31 March). The Market is open and needs support. There will be further updates.
“When I went to the market this morning, the traders asked me to pass on the message that they were open for business as usual. Most were accepting contactless payments. There were no crowds and most people were very good about respecting distances. And there is plenty of room to move away from those who do not!
There are at least three fruit and veg stalls Tuesday to Saturday and generally one on Monday.

Remote committee meetings for English councils
The regulations on remote committee meetings for English councils (and police and crime panels) have now been published. See links below
https://www.cfps.org.uk/remote-working-regulations-published/
There are logistical problems ‘How to ensure that the processes are in place to transact meetings – in terms of deciding what platform to use, making arrangements for the exclusion of press and public for confidential items, for the sharing of agendas and information in what will be a paperless environment. How to manage voting, and the recording of resolutions and minutes?’
