a new timetable came into effect on the 1st September and you can view a copy here. Because of some changes to the 77/77A Johnsons service, the 77A journeys were passed to A&M Group who operate the 69 Flexibus and as a result the 69 timetable had to be revised to fit around the 77A.

Certain hygiene precautions must be taken by those wishing to receive Holy Communion. These will be explained to you.
There will be no singing in church for the time being.
Face coverings need not be worn.
I apologise for the short notice; I have been waiting for some clarity from the government and the national church.
During the month of July, notice of services will be given from week to week. Watch this space.
From August onwards, I hope to be able to give notice of the next month’s services in the various Newsletters.
This is the first step towards whatever normal will be.
I look forward to seeing you in church again
Thank you.

Rugby Borough Council are doing everything they can to keep bin collections running as normal during the Coronavirus pandemic. But it’s likely that services will be impacted soon because of staff shortages due to parental leave or sickness. To help them prepare, here are some things that you can do to help:
Help bin crews operate
Due to reduced traffic, your usual collections time may change. Please put your bins out early and leave them out until they’ve been emptied.
Please be considerate when parking your car on a collection day, this will help to ensure the collection vehicles can access your road.
Please make sure your bin lids are firmly closed to help prevent crews unnecessarily touching them.
Wash your hands before and after touching your bin.
Compact your recycling into bins as much as possible to maximise space and only put bins out when they are full.
Bin crews are working hard to keep this essential service going during this difficult time. If you see them, please let them know you appreciate what they’re doing and give them a wave or a smile!
Please visit https://www.warwickshire.gov.uk/coronavirus for further updates to County Council Services and links to community groups and further support if required.
If any residents are entitled to free school lunches for their children you can call Warwickshire Welfare for 6 weeks of support for food – 0800 4081448
