We are pleased to announce that we are working towards reopening the parish office 5 days per week, however to ensure that this can be done safely for all, we will be reopening on reduced days and hours to begin with. This will check that all of our measures are as robust as possible whilst making certain that we have reduced the risks to a level that is as safe as we are able to do so. 

Therefore, we will be reopening on a Tuesday & Thursday between 9:30am and 1:00pm, beginning on Thursday 16th July. 
This will be by appointment only which can be booked by calling 02380 453732 or emailing clerk@houndparishcouncil.gov.uk.  

Please note that you MUST be wearing a face mask/covering (which you must provide) and will not be allowed entry without one. 

We would ask that where possible, if your query/question or request could be dealt with over the phone or email, you continue to do so. This reduces the risk to all of spreading the virus.
