We are grateful to Bruce for sending us details of a new Vaccination Centre at Prees Medical Centre. Details on the NHS website:
New Covid Vaccination Centre in North Shropshire
Important NHS Information – Dial 111 First
PATIENTS IN SHROPSHIRE, TELFORD AND WREKIN URGED TO CONTACT NHS 111 FIRST The Royal Shrewsbury Hospital and the Princess Royal Hospital in Telford are both dealing with high numbers of patients right now – anyone in need of urgent medical care in Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin should contact NHS 111 first online or by phone.
Health advisors can help find the best place for treatment and give a time to come in if a face-to-face assessment is needed. The service, staffed by trained health advisers, will book the caller a time slot for the most appropriate service, such as our urgent treatment centres or minor injuries units, or, if needed, A&E (Emergency Department ) at the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital (RSH) or the Princess Royal Hospital (PRH) in Telford.
By calling NHS 111 first, it will help the NHS manage the flow of patients when capacity in waiting rooms is much smaller than before, to maintain safe distancing and reduce the risk of Covid-19 infection. If the situation is serious or life-threatening please call 999 immediately. Likewise, if the condition is not serious, seek advice from a pharmacy or make an appointment with a GP.

3PNP The Big Questions – Some Answers!
We’re starting to get the results of The Big Questions survey which is part of the Three Parishes Neighbourhood Plan. We managed to get a 20% response to the survey which, considering that we were in lockdown, wasn’t bad.
The results from the data collected can be read by clicking on the link below. There will be more information up and coming when we have finished working our way through the many dozens of comments that came from people who completed the questionnaire. Those will be available very soon.
Mobile Library Newsflash
We are grateful to Jon Bernardes for letting us know that the mobile library service has been suspended until further notice. We will update you with any further information if and when it becomes available. The mobile library will not be at the road by the Rectory Lane junction with the A529 for the foreseeable future.
Green Bin Collection In Adderley
The following information has been received from Shropshire Council:
Dear Councillors,
I am writing to inform you of disruption today to the garden/food waste collection service for some properties in your division. Veolia’s Wem depot has had a significant number of Covid 19 cases and self-isolation which has meant that some garden waste collection rounds will not be completed today. I have listed the areas below and also attached a spreadsheet which lists all post codes affected, although that list is long and rather cumbersome.
This information will also be distributed via the Council’s website and social media channels.
THE COLLECTION SERVICES FOR RECYCLING AND GENERAL RUBBISH HAVE NOT BEEN AFFECTED.
Our advice to any residents affected is to bring their bin back in and present it again in their next scheduled collection day in two weeks time. I will keep you posted about any further developments as information becomes available.
Areas Affected:
| ADDERLEY | ASH | BETTON |
| BLACK PARK | CAYNTON | CHILDS ERCALL |
| EATON UPON TERN | ERCALL HEATH | HIGHER HEATH |
| HINSTOCK | HOPTON HOWLE | NORTON IN HALES |
| OLLERTON | PREES | PREES HEATH |
| SOULTON | STANTON UPON HINE HEATH | STOKE UPON TERN |
| TIBBERTON | WHITCHURCH |
Quizmas Is The New Festive Fundraiser
We have had a lovely letter care of Iain Wilson thanking everybody for their efforts in raising £470 for Hope House this Christmas. You can read the letter below and a BIG Thank You to everybody who participated either by taking part or by helping to organise. An extra special Thank You to Chelsey and Stuart “The Vocal Couple” who hosted the event from Cyprus. Well done everybody!
The Adderley Year
As we get to New Year we wanted to say a special thank you to all of the people who have made life in Adderley so special in this year of pandemic and lockdown. Some of them you all know and some work quietly away in the background.
Despite the restrictions of lockdown we have had an amazing year with things to enjoy that have brought us together as a community. People have had flowers to enjoy round the village and the surrounding countryside has provided us with a lovely environment. The Book Shelter has become a place to swap and share – someone has kept it tidy and safe. The WhatsApp group has helped people with shopping and prescriptions and there are all those people who have shouted over the fence: “Are you alright?” just to make sure.
Hopefully, by this time next year things will be closer to normal though we suspect that many of the things that have happened this year will become regular features of the village calendar.
The people who have quietly organised in the background are too many to mention but they know who they are and we thank them all. In the meantime we hope you will enjoy the video which picks up some of the highlights of 2020, the year in lockdown.
