Bob Jackson Chief Executive, said: “Actions taken, and services provided, by this council since the middle of March saw us quickly adapt to ensure the district’s residents have been able to continue to access essential services and assistance, such as refuse collections, homelessness support, community alarms, and benefits. Business as usual alongside our new work and amidst the context of Coronavirus has not been easy but we knew from the outset it would be crucial for us to continue with key services as the need for those does not simply go away. I am immensely proud of all staff and councillors who have risen to this challenge, and residents and customers who have supported us.” New Forest Cabinet Members Review NFDC’s Response to Coronavirus
