Due to the current pandemic of Covid-19 (Coronavirus) and government and NHS advice, a number of events organised by Great Aycliffe Town Council have been cancelled.

These are currently the MMA Event at the OakLeaf Sports Complex, Stargazing, the Senior Citizens’ Excursions, SK8 Fest and Brightwater after school activities.

The OakLeaf Sports Complex will be closed with effect from close of business on Wednesday 18th March, until further notice.

The OakLeaf Golf Complex is still open for use, but we ask that those with symptoms do not visit. Users are requested to wash their hands or use hand sanitiser when accessing the golf shop. Payments are encouraged via card, contactless where possible.

The Council’s Pre-School at St. Oswald’s is still open, however this may change subject to government instruction and staff availability.

The Council Offices will remain staffed and open for contact via telephone and e-mail, but we would request that you do not attend in person.

All Council meetings have been suspended until further notice.

Should the Council Offices close, contact numbers will be made available via the main Council Office number, 01325 300700 or website www.great-aycliffe.gov.uk

This is a rapidly evolving situation and updates on further closures will be available via social media and the Council’s website.

The Town Council would like to thank the public for their co-operation in these unprecedented circumstances.
