Following on from the government’s guidance on social distancing, issued on 22 March 2020 in relation to COVID-19, people should avoid travelling unless it is essential.
Essential travel does not include visits to second homes, camp sites, caravan parks or similar, whether for isolation purposes or holidays. People must remain in their primary residence. Not taking these steps puts additional pressure on communities and services that are already at risk.
In an attempt to manage the level of risk to both our staff and members of the public, the Town Clerk’s office will be closed until further notice.
Councillors and Officers of the Town Council will be continuing to address the queries that you might have and suggest that in the first instance,
you contact info@aldeburghtowncouncil.co.uk or call 01728 452158.
ATC urges you to follow both Government and NHS advice at this time of uncertainty.

A new Suffolk focused community service has been set up to support people who need help during COVID-19 pandemic. Called ‘Home But Not Alone’, the service has been launched to help connect people who want to volunteer in their communities with neighbours who are most in need. The service will mean willing volunteers, charities, town and parish councils, community and religious groups can all log their details and offers of support on an app, while people who need help can phone to request support.
