The NHS COVID-19 app has now officially launched across England and Wales. The app has a number of tools to protect people, including contact tracing, checking into venues through an in-built QR code scanner, risk alerts by postcode, a symptom checker and test booking.
In order to stop infection rates rising and to keep each other safe, we're encouraging our staff and customers to download the app. Visit the NHS website for more information and download links.

We will continue to be in contact and update this page as more services resume or if services are impacted by further restrictions coming info place.
You can now report new repairs jobs to us. Please note that due to high volumes of repairs work being carried out, it may take slightly longer than usual for new appointments to be booked in. We thank you for being patient while we get our responsive repairs service back up and running.
