Passing the new old town hall/Register Office earlier, and I noticed that the notice board above had altered, this may have been for a while now, but I tend to not walk past nowadays, so, sorry if this is old news! Anyway, that doesn't really provide any obvious information about the office and the Covid-19 Coronavirus Crisis, so I decided to have a look at the 2 websites they mention.
First, regarding births, deaths, marriages and citizenship registrations, and certificate requests, everything is now carried out online at the East Sussex County Council website, until further notice. Furthermore, for registrations of deaths a telephone appointment needs to be booked here at the website, also...
All marriage, civil partnership and other ceremonies in East Sussex are "postponed until at least 15 June 2020." However, "the General Register Office is in consultation with the Home Office and will shortly be issuing further guidance" (website).
The town centre still has the 4-8 usual jolly, socially not-distancing from each other, group apparently gathering from about 08.00, though has been seen earlier.
Shops that retail food are pretty much open as they used to be, the smaller supermarkets open from 07.00, on Sundays as well. Indeed, you may have noticed a photograph of one of the best blended scotch whiskies there are available above, and what does this have to do with this blog? Well, the Tesco Express down from the railway station in Havelock Road, is selling bottles of Chivas Regal for £20, down from £30, please feel free to purchase some yourself so that it goes from the shelf, as I'm tempted to buy a bottle every time I walk past, cheers! 😉

Finally, from me today, if you run a business and haven't already sorted out how to get a Coronavirus Grant from the Government, I saw this tide blog recommended by a Rother councillor earlier today. Now I'm not qualified to give any advice re businesses, but she appears to believe they do provide good advice for businesses.
Be safe!
