Over the last week the level of concern over the corona-

virus has stepped up more than a few notches. The news

headlines continue to be dominated by the topic and so-

cial media is full of questions and comments about it;

some helpful, some humorous and some just daft.

It is hard to keep up with the pace of change and the

implications of those changes. Early last week the

churches closed for public worship and other social ven-

ues were ordered to close. Because people are still not

following the social distancing guidelines, the government

is warning that it might need to go down the route of

other countries and enforce them.

The knock on effect of these changes has been huge

and I am sure we all know people who have lost jobs, or

whose businesses have been destroyed by the economic

impact of the virus. And there is more to come.

As a friend of mine put it, “It feels like I’m the co-star in

a really **** disaster movie!”

In my lifetime I have never seen anything like the impact

that this is having on society. And I know that a lot of

people are worried and fearful as the virus continues to

spread. However, the human race has faced many similar

challenges of disease, or war (and more) in the past, with

nothing like the resources and infrastructure we have

today.

A crisis like this seems to bring out the worst and the

best in human behaviour. We see the worst in the panic

buying and in people unwilling to take the social distanc-

ing advice. We see the best in the way that people are

helping each other.

Alongside all of the ‘dark’ news coverage there have

been reports of people all over the country setting up

community support groups to look out for and support

their neighbours. As I phone round our local villages to

see what they have in place, I am impressed over and

over again by the massive sense of community spirit as

people recognise that we are all in this together and look

to help one another.

In his sermon on 22nd March the Archbishop of Can-

terbury warned that if we look inwards, “...we will only

April 2020

reveal the limits of our own resources and that will lead

to deeper fear and selfishness.”

Where is your focus?

When we turn our eyes outwards to those around us,

it helps to set us free from our fears and helps others

around us to do the same. It is why such behaviour is in

the heart of Jesus’ teaching when he commands his fol-

lowers to Love their neighbour.

If we are currently in a disaster movie, then we are

entering the darker parts of the story, where the prob-

lems are mounting and the way forward seems impossi-

ble. A time when many of the dodgy characters in the

movie will be looking after themselves and ignoring the

needs of others. But the heroes of the film always find a

way forward, care for those around them, and in the end

they triumph over adversity.

So as we follow the guidelines on social distancing, and

as we enter into the darker parts of this story, can I en-

courage you to seek out ways of looking out for others

around you. You might be self isolating, but there are

many people that would welcome a phone call, or a posi-

tive message by email or Facebook. Contact your parish

council, your community support groups or local church

leaders and ask what you can do to help. There is more

about this on page 3.

In short love like Jesus… but wash your hands like

Pontius Pilate!

Businesses do their best to keep serving us

We are fortunate to live in a great village with a strong commu-

nity spirit and that has shone through all the more in the face of

the coronavirus outbreak.

As part of the response to that outbreak Kineton Parish

Council is working together with the churches and local peo-

ple to provide ways that we can support those in need in our

community.

One of the ways that we want to do that is to encourage

people to look out for their vulnerable neighbours.

A dedicated phone number and email address have been set

up and both will be checked at least 4 times each day.

Can you help?

If you think you can help please contact us either by ringing

07391 549598 or emailing [email protected]

Please give your name, address, phone number and email ad-

dress (if you have one) and please make it clear that you are

offering to help. We will get back to you with suggestions of

who you could help and in what way.

Do you need help?

If you are self isolating for any of the recommended reasons

(see Page 7) and need some help please ring the same number

07391 549598 or email [email protected] giving

your name, address and contact details. Also give us a short

Look out for your Look out for your neighbourneighbour

In the coming weeks and months many people in our communities will be very dependent on their friends and neighbours for support. The #LoveYourNeighbour cards can be found in many local shops and the church porch. They are in packs of 8 cards with space for you to add your contact details. Please take a pack, add your details and drop them round to your neighbours. Then please contact the parish council clerk, Gina, to let her know who which houses you have cov-ered [email protected] or 07570 269 451

those who can help

with those who

need assistance

Schools, theatres, cinemas, museums, pubs, clubs, non-essential

shops, cafes and restaurants have closed and social events have

been cancelled in order to drastically cut social contact and limit

the spread of the Covid-19 virus.

It’s a worrying and stressful time for everyone. But village

shops and businesses are doing their best to keep going and

provide extra reassurances and services to help their customers.

Sadly our village pubs and restaurants, which have tried to

keep going with takeaway services, now have to close, as have

our hairdressers and Flower Thyme.

However Lewis Butchers is open and offering free local

deliveries to those people at risk who don’t want to visit the

shop. Ring 01926 640228 to place an order. Select Conven-

ience and the Post Office are open and also offering to deliv-

er orders to the elderly and vulnerable. You can put your re-

quest in over the phone on 01926 640256.

The Co-Op is open and has introduced a new priority shop-

ping hour from 9.30am to 10.30am Monday to Friday for the

elderly, their carers, the vulnerable and at risk. The store is also

advertising for more staff to help cope with the increase in busi-

ness.

Kineton Optometrists are running an emergency only ser-

vice, if you need emergency treatment please contact them by

phone (01926 641093), do not call in.

Nifty Needle will be working behind closed doors to fulfil

orders but the shop is closed.

The estate agents are operating closed door policies but are

working by phone and on-line.

The Vets have brought in a host of safety measures and are

asking all clients to contact them by phone in the first instance,

whatever their requirements, so safe arrangements can be made

(phone 01926 641000 or 01926 330179)

And, perhaps most importantly, the Pharmacy is open and

working hard to help look after us all but is asking people who

have, or think they

may have, symptoms

of the Covid-19 virus

not to visit the shop

in person. They have

been a bit overrun by

people doubling up

on their prescription

orders and have

asked customers if

they would please

order normally.

The Pharmacy asks

that you do not enter if

you think you may

have Coronavirus

symptoms, call them

instead for advice on

01926 641902

explanation of the help you might need.

We are on a very tight learning curve and there will be

more information about the support we are able to

offer across the area in the coming days and weeks.

But, as a start point, we wanted to encourage people to

look out for their neighbours and we hope that making

the connections is the first place to start.

Please – keep up to date with and follow all the guid-

ance being offered by the relevant authorities (eg Gov-

ernment and NHS) in newspapers, on the TV and radio.

As hospitals gear up and doctors’ surger-

ies bring in measures to limit the spread

of the virus, and across the county our

emergency services bring in new strate-

gies to ensure people’s safety, it’s good to

know that our own volunteer Community

First Responders are still putting them-

selves in the front line to save lives.

Kineton volunteer James O’Neill told

the Outlook that they all understood the

risks they were taking but first and fore-

most they wanted to help the community.

“For us, it is still very much business as

usual and it is very important that this

message gets out there,” James explained.

“Our responders are putting themselves

at personal risk as volunteers and obvi-

ously the safest option for us is to stay at

home but, like our frontline NHS col-

leagues, we understand fully what our re-

sponsibility is and we accept the risks we

might encounter doing our part to help the West Midland

Ambulance Service and our Communities.”

James said he had recently attended two cardiac arrests

locally within an hour of each other. “Response times

were less than 6 minutes for both - an 83-year-old patient

and a 74 year-old. I carried out life support on both of

these patients and worked closely with the Ambulance

Crews and the Helicopter medical team when they ar-

rived. Both patients are thought to be making a good re-

covery in hospital at the moment. If we had withdrawn

from the front line the outcome could have been totally

different!”

It isn’t entirely business as usual though. James wants to

alert people that they will be wearing face masks, gloves,

goggles and aprons when they attend anyone who is dis-

playing serious symptoms which could be as a result of the

Covid-19 virus. He doesn’t want anyone to be alarmed, as

it won’t mean they definitely have the virus, but it is a nec-

essary precaution as it is vital that the responders them-

selves can avoid becoming ill and can keep working.

There will also be a lot of extra cleaning and sanitizing to

ensure the safety of both responders and patients.

NB Please read the NHS guidance on page 7 carefully.

Do not call the emergency services unless you are seriously

unwell. If you think you may have Coronavirus symptoms you

need to stay at home and isolate yourself from other people so

you do not pass it on. There is no treatment or medicine yet to

get rid of the virus but the NHS believes most people will make

a full recovery, using over the counter medicines if they need to

to relieve their symptoms as they would with any other flu virus.

The emergency services are there to help those whose symp-

toms become life-threatening or who need urgent help.

Please read the NHS advice in full on the next page.

Our local volunteers are on the front line

COVID-19 is a new illness that can affect your lungs and

airways. It's caused by a virus called coronavirus.

Stay at home to stop coronavirus spreading

Everyone must stay at home to help stop the spread of corona-

virus. This includes people of all ages – even if you do not have

any symptoms or other health conditions.

You can only leave your home:

to shop for basic essentials – only when you really need to

to do one form of exercise a day – such as a run, walk or

cycle, alone or with other people you live with

for any medical need – for example, to visit a pharmacy or

deliver essential supplies to a vulnerable person

to travel to and from work – but only where this is abso-

lutely necessary

What to do if you have coronavirus symptoms

Continue to stay at home if you have either:

a high temperature – this means you feel hot to touch on

your chest or back (you do not need to measure your

temperature)

a new, continuous cough – this means coughing a lot for

more than an hour, or 3 or more coughing episodes in 24

hours (if you usually have a cough, it may be worse than

usual)

To protect others, do not go to places like a GP surgery, phar-

macy or hospital. Stay at home.

Use the 111 online coronavirus service to find out what to do.

Only call 111 if you cannot get help online.

What to do if you need medical help for another reason

If you need medical help not related to coronavirus, do not go

to places like a GP surgery, pharmacy or hospital.

For health information and advice, use the NHS website or

check your GP surgery website.

For urgent medical help, use the NHS 111 online service. Only

call 111 if you're unable to get help online.

For life-threatening emergencies, call 999 for an ambulance.

Advice for people at high risk

If you're at high risk of getting seriously ill from coronavirus,

there are extra things you should do to avoid catching it.

These include:

not leaving your home – you should not go out to do shop-

ping, visit friends or family, or attend any gatherings

avoiding close contact with other people in your home as

much as possible

Read the full advice on protecting yourself if you're at high risk

from coronavirus on GOV.UK.

Who is at high risk?

You may be at high risk from coronavirus if you:

have had an organ transplant

are having certain types of cancer treatment

have blood or bone marrow cancer, such as leukaemia

have a severe lung condition, such as cystic fibrosis or severe

asthma

have a condition that makes you much more likely to get infec-

tions

are taking medicine that weakens your immune system

are pregnant and have a serious heart condition

If you're at high risk, you will be contacted by the NHS by Sun-

day 29 March 2020. Do not contact your GP or healthcare team

at this stage – wait to be contacted.

Other things you can do to stop the infection spreading

DWash your hands with soap and water often – do this for at

least 20 seconds

Use hand sanitiser gel if soap and water are not available

Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or your sleeve (not

your hands) when you cough or sneeze

Put used tissues in the bin immediately and wash your hands

afterwards

Stay 2 metres (3 steps) away from other people, if you need to

go outside

Don'DO NOT touch your eyes, nose or mouth if your hands

are not clean

How coronavirus is spread

Because it's a new illness, we do not know exactly how corona-

virus spreads from person to person.

Similar viruses are spread in cough droplets.

It's very unlikely it can be spread through things like packages or

food.

Pregnancy advice

If you're pregnant and worried about coronavirus, you can get

advice about coronavirus and pregnancy from the Royal College

of Obstretricians and Gynaecologists.

Treatment for coronavirus

There is currently no specific treatment for coronavirus.

Antibiotics do not help, as they do not work against viruses.

Treatment aims to relieve the symptoms while your body fights

the illness.

You'll need to stay in isolation, away from other people, until

you have recovered.

Get an isolation note to give to your employer

If you live with someone who has symptoms of coronavirus, you

can get an isolation note to send to your employer as proof you

With an increasing need for car ownership, particularly in

a rural community, and the associated requirement for

places to park, we now have an issue in our village which

has led many of us to park on the pavement,

Obstructing the highway is an offence; however the local

police would prefer to work with the parish council and

community rather than taking action against anyone who is

parking across part of the pavement.

The parish council is keen to make sure that the re-

quirements of everyone can be recognised without need-

ing to ask the police to take action. They are therefore

asking everyone to consider, when parking, that the pave-

ments should be left clear for all pedestrians, particularly

those with children, prams and pushchairs, as well as users

of mobility buggies, and that it should be possible for any-

one with sight impairment to walk along without risk to

their safety.

If you find that a pavement is seriously obstructed please call

101 at the time, with the description and registration number

of the vehicle. Photographic evidence could also be helpful.

Smiles were brought to the

faces of staff and customers

alike when 'The world's fast-

est shed' popped into Gilks'

Garage Café for a quick refu-

el.

The record breaking shed,

which appeared on Top Gear

the same day, is reported to

have had a full service and

MOT. Regulars of the café

will know that really means a

full english and mug of tea!

The famous record break-

ing shed broke its own speed

record in September 2018 reaching a speed of 101.581

mph on Pendine Sands, Wales, is regularly seen on TV and

has just secured a sponsorship deal with First Stop Tyres.

The shed's visit caused excitement amongst the café's

customers, especially children who couldn't believe what

they seeing. Staff and customers are looking forward to

the next time the shed visits on its travels around the

countryside from its home in Chipping Norton. Sadly that

may be some time away as, along with other restaurants

and cafes, Gilks’s has had to close temporarily because of

the emergency Coronavirus measures.

Pictured are Café staff with the record-breaking shed.

An amazing £2,220 was raised at the London Marathon

Quiz Night organised by Boo Lewis and Justin Lee and

sponsored by Seccombes in aid of the charity Phabkids.

The 21 teams made it a sell-out evening at the Village

Hall on February 29th , and will help the charity continue

to support disabled and non-disabled people to enjoy

activities and holiday projects together.

Boo and Justin will be running their first ever mara-

thon in London (although it has been postponed to Oc-

tober) in aid of Phabkids and have already exceeded

their fund-raising target of £1,850 each.

Other funds have come from the “May I” card nights,

organised by Miranda Williams, along with many indi-

vidual donations. A Pop-Up Supper is also planned.

A delighted Boo commented: “I still can’t believe how

much we raised at the Quiz Night, it exceeded all our

expectations. We are very grateful to everyone who

supported the event”.

“We will carry on fund-raising and getting sponsorship

to raise as much as we can for Phabkids, which supports

families like ours”.

If you would like to donate or follow their marathon

adventure please go to the Just Giving fundraising page

Planning Applications

Kineton churches came together on Friday March 6th to take

part in the World Day of Prayer 2020.

Throughout the world, Christians were participating in the

service that Christians in Zimbabwe had put together. We

learnt Shona language (kwazi wy for hello) and also learnt

that many difficulties are affecting daily life for ordinary peo-

ple in Zimbabwe.

We offered our prayers to support them, our minds to

understand their situation and our money to go a little way

to help the needs of the disadvantaged there.

Each year a new country makes new preparations and we

all make a new commitment. Join us next year and be part

of a worldwide event to make a difference and bring us clos-

er together.

Day of Prayer reaches out

After years of protracted negotiations with Bloor

Homes the Parish Council has at last taken owner-

ship of the public open spaces around Kineton Mead-

ows.

Contractors have started to bring the main land-

scaped area back under control and the allotments

will be made fit for purpose. Many will have ob-

served the flimsy sheds on their sides!

Within a few weeks Kineton will have flourishing

allotments at two ends of the village as the new

owners have confirmed that the Banbury Road allot-

ments (pictured above) will be allowed to continue.
