Coronavirus resourcesMessage from the Mayor of Malvern Cllr Neil Morton - about staying in, and seeking helpYesterday a leaflet dropped through our letter box from Malvern Town Council which explains how to seek help during the Coronavirus epidemic. How to obtain a Coronavirus TestSeniors aged over 65 years, with symptoms, can now request a government test for COVID-19. Click for guidance on how to obtain a test Our weekly blog about Coronavirus for SeniorsRead our observations about the progression of the Coronovirus epidemic in Malvern, Worcestershire. Up to 28th April the government had been using the cumulative number of deaths in NHS hospitals as a 'yardstick'. However on 29th April they began adding in other deaths of confirmed Coronavirus patients, for example in care homes. Thus the expected death tally for that day increased sharply from about 22,000 to 26,097 cases, an increase of almost 20%. Coronavirus DashboardThe Government Cornoavirus statistics, updated daily, can be found on the Coronavirus Dashboard. Click for Coronavirus Dashboard ONS StatisticsThe Office of National Statistics publishes the number of deaths from all causes weekly. We have found the ONS website difficult to navigate and understand. However a breakdown of deaths by district can be found for example in a spreadsheet linked to this page, should you wish to dig deeper. Click for ONS Statistics by district From this data the Malvern Gazette occasionally publishes reports on the number and location of cases in Worcestershire. |

South Worcestershire Development Plan Review roadshowVenue: Lyttleton Rooms, Great Malvern Time: 2 pm to 8 pm Find out about proposals to build 880 more homes in Malvern additional to those already planned by the year 2030 by attending this roadshow at the Lyttleton Rooms. A six week public consultation started on Monday 4 November on proposals outlined in the Preferred Options document, as part of the next stage of the review of the South Worcestershire Development Plan (SWDP). The document sets out how a government requirement to build another 14,000 new homes across Malvern Hills District, Worcester City and Wychavon by 2041 could be met. This is on top of the need for 28,400 new homes by 2030, more than half of which have already been built, set out in the current SWDP.
