FOR YOU

Many readers will know know something of London’s so-called “Great Plague”, which began in May 1665 and stretched into January 1666, and in which an estimated 100,000 people may have died out of a population of 350,000-400,000. A total of 68,596 burials  is accounted for in parish records, but so intense was the rate of death from July to September that many people’s burials went unrecorded.

Lowestoft Town Council are busily working on rejuvenating The Triangle Market Place. The ex-Bob the Grocer's van is being re-furbished and re-roofed right now. Word has it that the new permanent stalls will be in place in the near future. Rock on, LTC..

Jacs, Kit and their team aim to share more about the great community that Lowestoft is and the people that make it so

LOWESTOFT FOODBANKS and HELP FOR THE HOMELESS

There's one foodbank in the area, but they have several outlets  where you can get food. They usually operate a 'referral' scheme – a professional or established agency gives you a voucher of some kind which you take to the appropriate organisation. But Covid-times mean you need to check. 

Local figures for East Suffolk show we are not out of the woods yet. My graph clearly shows that. The red line shows national cases per 100,000, and that's levelling off. Suffolk (the blue line) consistently mirrors the national level, but we also have levelled off. The infection is still here. And with Christmas to come, we cannot relax.
