Nottinghamshire County Council, Ashfield District Council, Bassetlaw District Council, Browtowe Borough Council, Gedling Borough Council, Mansfield District Council, Newark and Sherwood District Council and Rushcliffe Borough Council are all working together to ensure we support residents as best we can during the Coronavirus outbreak.
There are a number of local volunteer groups offering help if you are staying at home because of Coronavirus. To find what services are being offered in your area, click this link nottinghamshire.gov.uk/Coronaviruscommunityhub
