Minutes:
Members were informed that Remembrance Services were held, albeit in a reduced capacity and the Mayor thanked the Royal British Legion and Reverend Linda Hillier for their efforts, in ensuring events took place smoothly.
The Mayor placed on record his appreciation to the Slough Community in the manner in which it had come together during a difficult year. #OneSlough had been recognised as exemplary and services continued to be provided even before the 2nd lockdown so that they were fully prepared to assist as demand increased again.
The Prime Minister had announced in his Covid-19 winter statement that from 3rd December there would be tougher measures at each tier. It was anticipated that Slough would be placed in Tier 3 as numbers were still rising dramatically. Members were reminded of the importance of ensuring residents were aware of the message about “Hands, Face, Space” and how important this was for numbers to reduce.
