75 years ago, on the 7th May 1945, the formal act of military surrender was signed by Germany, thereby ending the war in Europe. On the next day 8th May, celebrations broke out all over the world to mark Victory in Europe or VE Day. In Britain, Winston Churchill marked the occasion by declaring 8th May a public holiday. When the news that the axis forces had finally admitted defeat came, communities all around the country came together to celebrate, there were street parties and parades throughout the Western world, especially in the United Kingdom. More than a million people took to the streets in Great Britain and the day was declared a national holiday.
Broughton Community Council was made aware that one of the issues at Wrexham Maelor Hospital staff where facing was the effect of continually washing their hands.
To show appreciation from the residents, Broughton Community Council has provided 70 tubes of hand cream for the staff affected.
No words can describe the exceptional professionalism, dedication and sacrifice that all NHS staff have, and still are, providing. To those in need of their services during the current coronavirus pandemic, they are invaluable.
It is only a small gesture and has been much appreciated by those who have received it at Wrexham Maelor Hospital.
Following the latest Government guidelines regarding recreation and play areas including MUGA’s could everyone in the community, please be aware that all are now officially closed to the public. Not all play areas can be locked, but the new rules still apply. We are working hard on getting signage up at each of the relevant parks etc., although the new rules apply with immediate effect.
Wrexham Council has taken advice from the local Police, who have confirmed that they will be dispersing and possibly fining people who do not pay attention to the rules or signs regarding the recreation areas.
The Coronavirus (COVID 19) can continue to be contagious on a solid area for some time after it has been expelled through a sneeze or cough. The nature of a play area is such that hands are continually in contact with some surface and trying to keep a child from then touching their face to stop the infection spreading is near impossible. Recreation areas are designed to be a place of congregation, which the main reason the Government have set these guidelines.
Everyone at Broughton Community Council wishes you, your families and friends stay safe during these uncertain and turbulent times. This is, without doubt, uncharted times. We will continue to keep you informed as circumstances that affect our community change.
