THE public have been invited to clap for frontline staff tonight who are relentlessly working during the coronavirus pandemic.
At 8pm, people are asked to clap from inside their homes, at their front door, windows, gardens and balconies to show appreciation for the ongoing hard work they are doing to fight the outbreak.
It will be the second time the national event has taken place, after last week’s resulted in scores of people showing their support.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
