A personal plea to follow the Prime Minister's guidelines concerning Coronavirus has been made by Councillor Kelham Cooke, the leader of South Kesteven District Council.

Coun Cooke has made the plea on the website of South Kesteven District, which also details how council services are being affected and what SKDC is doing to help residents.

He said: "I am making a personal plea to all residents to do exactly what the Prime Minister has asked, for the sake of all our health.

"Only by complying with these restrictions can we hope to limit the spread of Coronavirus to protect ourselves, our families and our communities, and buy our amazing NHS valuable time to prepare and respond."
