Are your child's vaccinations up to date for school?

Before your child starts school, it's important to make sure their vaccinations are up to date.

By the time they reach reception class, they should have had their 4-in-1 pre-school booster that provides continued protection against diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough, and polio.

They should also have had their second MMR vaccination, which provides protection from measles, mumps, and rubella.

If you're not sure whether your child has had any, one, or two doses of the MMR vaccine, you can check their personal child health record (the Red Book).

If you're still unsure, speak to your GP. It's better to have two doses of the MMR vaccine now rather than leaving your child unprotected.

Remember, it's important that vaccinations are given on time for the best protection.

People in Cornwall are missing out on extra money they could be entitled to. If you’re over State Pension age and on a low-income Pension Credit gives you extra money to help with the cost of living. Pension Credit can also help with housing costs such as ground rent or service charges.

You might get extra help if you’re a carer, severely disabled, or responsible for a child or young person. Pension Credit is separate from your State Pension and you can get it even if you have other income, savings or own your own home.

The salt & grit bin on the bus stop hardstanding is not being used as we hoped. The salt is being removed and wasted on the hardstanding in the process. Hopefully all residents will have each others best interests in mind and this resource will not be treated indiscriminately and only be lightly used as necessary for everyone's safety in such an exposed environment.

If abused the Parish Council will have no alternative but to consider it's removal.
