Latest COVID-19 news and updates for Haringey:

Think twice before holding your own Bonfire Night display

November 3, 2020

The Government’s new national restrictions come into force on Thursday (Nov 5), and Londoners are being urged to think twice about holding Bonfire Night displays at home.

With organised displays cancelled, the London Fire Brigade (LFB) are urging people to reconsider staging any kind of display themselves, or building garden bonfires.

They are instead asking people to consider celebrating the night in different ways this year, with fewer risks. 

Some ideas include making your own Guy Fawkes and bonfire crafts, decorating the house, purchasing glow sticks for children and baking bonfire goodies.

With the capital’s emergency services already facing huge demands due to the coronavirus pandemic, the LFB are already preparing for a busier night than usual with a risk of people becoming injured at home or fires getting out of control. 

With this warning in mind, the LFB are calling on everyone to follow the safety advice and Covid-19 guidelines. Please ensure that you don’t interact with other households. 

If you do choose to have your own display, never drink alcohol and set off fireworks, keep fireworks in a closed metal box and only ever buy ones which carry the CE mark. Bonfires should be clear of buildings, sheds, fences and hedges. Please inform your neighbours if you are planning on letting off fireworks and make sure the noise is over by 11pm.

Leisure centre closures

November 3, 2020

Our leisure centres will remain open until tomorrow evening (Wednesday 4 November) and then will close, as the government's new national restrictions come into force. 

We are currently working with Fusion Lifestyle to ensure that the centres are ready for a December return; however, we will monitor government advice and provide updates as they become available. 

Please see Fusion’s website for information on how the closures will affect membership payments.
 

Furlough scheme extension

November 3, 2020

Furlough scheme to remain open until December

On 31 October, the Prime Minister announced that the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CJRS) – also known as the furlough scheme – will remain open until December, with employees receiving 80% of their current salary for hours not worked, up to a maximum of £2,500.

Under the extended scheme, the cost for employers of retaining workers will be reduced compared to the current scheme, which means the extended furlough scheme will be more generous for employers than it was in October.

The new measures are due to be discussed in the House of Commons tomorrow (4 November), including:

  • An extension of the Mortgage payment holiday for up to 6 months
  • Continuation of the Local Restrictions Support Grant, with grants worth up to £3,000 per month to businesses required to close in England due to local or national restrictions
  • One-off payments to support businesses – more information to follow when available

Further detail on the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme and grant schemes will be announced by Government in the coming days.

You can read the full government announcement here (external link).

Further information, including information on grants, will appear daily on our COVID-19 Business Support section of the website.
