Coronavirus (Covid19)
Information about the current pandemic is published in many places. The Parish Council does not receive any additional information.

Covid Symptom Study, Kings College, London
King’s College, London is running an app (available on smart phones) called the Covid Symptom Study. The app is powered by ZOE. Users can download the app and sign up as participants in the study. To take part you have to provide relevant personal information and then report frequently (ideally once each day) to let them know whether you are still feeling well, or have any of the possible symptoms of Covid19.
These reports, from more than 4 million people who have joined the study, are used to estimate the number of new cases of Covid19 in the UK each day, and to estimate the likely number of active cases in each local authority area. As a participant you can zoom and scroll on an interactive map to see the estimated number of active cases of infection in each local authority area (for example in Three Rivers).
If you want to see this information you have to sign up for the study. The more people that sign up, the better the estimate, even if most of are reporting that we are still feeling very well.
Croxley Green Parish Council
We have adapted our way of working, including closing the Parish Office to visitors, to keep our staff and councillors safe. A number of the activities we would normally organise or support have been cancelled but our staff have continued working from the office and out and about in Croxley Green.
Our Council meetings are taking place online and you are welcome to join them using Zoom, in exactly the same way as you could attend our meetings in person. The agendas, papers and minutes of our meetings are published on this website. Council Meetings
If there is something you want to raise, and you don’t want to or can’t join a Zoom meeting, please speak or write to any Councillor or the Clerk and ask them to raise it on your behalf.
Councillors have also met in the open air to deal with things, and have attended District Council meetings remotely.
At present we have no plans to return to ordinary working and the Regulations allow us to continue working remotely until May 2021.
As part of our response to the Covid19 crisis we set up a working group to review what we could do to help, and how we might change our approach. We have defined a new statement of purpose and strategic goals, which are on this website under Council/Home. Statement of Purpose and Strategic Goals
We would welcome your comments and suggestions on them.
