From Friday 24th July 2020, it will be mandatory for people to wear a face covering when shopping in the local high street or supermarket.
This is so we can minimise the risk of COVID-19 spreading as we return to the new normal and build the confidence that you can shop safely, protecting both yourself and the workers.
So I went to visit Ford Green and Smallthorne yesterday with local businessman Mohammed Adeel, from PPE First UK Ltd, to hand out some free PPE he kindly donated.
If you or any business wants supplies of PPE then please contact PPE First UK Ltd on:

It was great to see local retailers in high spirits and keeping positive and seeing a reasonably good footfall in their shops.
However, one of the big issues raised was the fly tipping around the alleys. I will be writing to Stoke-on-Trent City Council to see what actions we can put in place to catch those who are damaging our community.
