Cllr Doug Pullen

> “Just as it’s important to protect lives, it’s really important that we protect livelihoods too.

> “So let’s ensure we follow these new regulations to ensure we don’t have further restrictions put upon us here which would have an even greater impact on our local economy.  
>  
> “Thank you for all you are doing so far – continue with the simple things, wash your hands, cover your faces, keep space between you and others.  
>  
> “Let’s work together to get these restrictions lifted as soon as we can.”
