Support to local traders and small businesses has become our priority which gave birth to the “Shop Local” and “Eat Local” campaign. The Mayor of Fareham and the Leader of Fareham Borough Council have been trying to encourage residents to support local traders through this campaign.
While a number of residents have already been using local shops considerably more during the lockdown we hope that this habit of shopping locally continues to see a positive upward trend. When you shop locally you are helping your community grow and ours is a community that has a lot to offer. There are boutiques, specialist stores, restaurants, cafes and coffee shops, hairdressers, and so much more.

As we slowly start venturing out from the safety of our homes, we need to do this in the most careful manner possible. Following the guidance offers two benefits. Ensuring that our collective time and effort spent distancing and in isolation in the past few months was not futile, but will also help us to successfully overcome the situation while gradually easing back into our routines at the same time.

In the previous post, I spoke about Government grants and the efforts taken by the Government to help our Fareham residents during these difficult times. Fareham council, at the same time is also trying its best to extend support in every way possible to make it easier for our residents to move forward. I want to thank everyone for the efforts made to adhere to the Government's advice.
As a community, we have faced some the most difficult times in recent history, the initiative taken by many who have reached out to help others and the supportive attitude towards overcoming the situation as a community has been worthy of applaud and makes me feel proud.

Evidence of civilisation in Fareham dates back to before AD43 when the Romans arrived and established a crossing point of the River Wallington.
Shortly after, a Roman Fortress was built at Porchester to defend the strategic Portsmouth Harbour.
Fareham was quickly identified as an area of significance with its protected harbour. Traces of tools and arms from the Iron Age have been found, and the town was first documented in the Norman era as 'Ferneham'. The Bishop of Winchester historically located his mills in Fareham Creek near the Fareham Viaduct. Henry Wriothesley, 3rd Earl of Southampton who occupied Titchfield Abbey in the late 16th Century, was a Patron of William Shakespeare, and a dedicatee of his Sonnets.

Far too often people use the word HERO to describe achievements when it is not deserved. Our NHS staff are risking their lives every day to protect our nation from coronavirus. Winston Churchill said, “Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.” An incredibly appropriate quote in describing the people who are fighting against this deadly virus.

First of all, I hope you will join me in hoping for the speedy recovery of our Prime Minister Boris Johnson. Like so many others, he is now in the outstanding hands of our very own NHS. We wish him, and everyone else affected by this disease a speedy recovery.
As is the theme of all my posts, we must get through this crisis together. When this passes we have many domestic and global issues that will require our attention and our unity as we heal the wounds of the past and restore the Great Britain that we are.

Reducing the spread and the containment of the coronavirus has to be a community-effort with small efforts taken by each and every one of us.
Stay at home! It is important that you avoid going outside other than for absolute essentials such as for food, health reasons or essential work. If you can manage to work from home, it is a sensible decision, and a government requirement to do so.
