Worcestershire “As One”
Worcestershire organizations including the county and district councils, faith groups, schools, businesses and others are joining forces to help streets across the county to renew their sense of belonging, support and friendliness, as widely experienced in the first Lock-down.
As part of Worcestershire’s ‘As One’ campaign, the message, ‘Fill your street with friendliness’ has started to be displayed on hundreds of large banners across the county. From the spring, dozens of local As One events will be put on to help the message take root in each locality.
You can download and read full details of the project including a list of organisations across the County who have already signed up here:

If you’d like to display a banner, or get involved in any other way, please reply ASAP to our Worcestershire As One Coordinator, Rachel Adkins, at worcestershire@as-one.uk. Linking into As One’s social media would also be valuable. It’s @asoneuk for Facebook and Instagram, @asoneukcampaign for Twitter.

Latest Government Advice on Covid-19
The UK Government has recently revised its advice on how to deal with Covid-19 in England, as part of its “return to normal” plans.
In summary, you will not be legally required to self-isolate if you test positive for COVID-19. Stay at home if you can and avoid contact with other people.
You will not have to take daily tests or be legally required to self-isolate following contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19.
The Test and Trace Support Payment Scheme will end. If you were told to self-isolate before 24 February you can still make a claim up to 6 April.

Update on Lychgate
The roof structure is now complete and the original roof tiles have been re-fitted by specialist craftsmen. The recessed seats on either side, traditionally for the use of pall-bearers or vigil watchers, have also been replaced.
It is hoped that the whole project will be completed within the next few days.
Advance Warning of Network Rail Working During Easter Weekend
Early heads up re Network Rail doing track relaying between Chadbury and 200 mtres this side of the river Avon bridge over the Easter weekend.
Key points:
· Most of the work will take place Saturday and Sunday with set up shortly beforehand and clearing up afterwards.
· Track laying kit should arrive on the tracks, rather than by road.
· It is thought only vehicle access will be for rail workers in small vehicles. Network Rail will confirm details of access routes and are aware re Sidings Lane issues.
· Likely noisy activity will be the tamping down of the new track, other than that we will probably not notice the work going on. Likley to be some vibration near the track when they do this.
