We know this Christmas is going to be different, but we're urging residents to stay at home this Christmas and New Year to prevent the spread of Coronavirus in our communities. 

The Prime Minister, Boris Johnson has announced Kent is now in tier four of the Coronavirus restrictions.

Public Health England Tier 4 notice

You should only leave your homes if absolutely essential:

  • for food, health reasons or work
  • for exercise - with your household, support bubble or with one other person from outside your household.

Christmas bubbles have been cancelled, and you should not be visiting your friends and family if they are not in your support bubble.

If your neighbours aren't following government advice and you are concerned, please contact Kent Police using their web form, or call 101.

For more information on what we're doing to prevent the spread of coronavirus, please visit westkent.org/coronavirus.
