Our delivery charge is £3-50 and I think that is  for over £40-00  spend. If you look on their web site it will give you all the details.

For S17 (Bradway, Totley and Dore), you may have had a volunteer deliver a leaflet from the local support group with information at the time of going to print. Their website is here: https://sites.google.com/view/s17-covid-19/home.

 

I've visited both the Sainsbury's Local at Bradway and the Tesco Express at Abbeydale Park and both have plenty of fresh food although note they are closing earlier than normal in the evening (9pm and 10pm respectively). They are limiting numbers in the shop so there is a short queue outside. I assume the Totley Co-Op and Dore Co-Op is similarly stocked, they are closing at 8pm

 

Border View Farm shop is still open as normal, again observe social distance guidance. They will deliver on request to elderly/vulnerable local residents.

 

Hartleys Fruit & Veg shop at Bradway is delivery only, phone up to place your order and pay. They can also supply bread, cheese and yogurts.

 

Bradway Meats is also pre-orders only, collection from shop available.

 

For alcoholic drinks, Abbeydale Brewery, Mitchells Wine Merchants and Two Thirds Beer Co are delivering.

 

Bradway pet supplies shop is currently offering delivery.

 

Citygrab, the food delivery arm of City Taxis, will deliver from a number of takeaways & restaurants along with Moss Valley Fine Meats and Our Cow Molly Dairy. There are also some takeaways still on Just Eat plus of course Dominos at Dronfield and Papa John's at Woodseats deliver pizza to our area. 

 

The local M17 bus is still running Monday to Saturday hourly from 10am to 3pm and conveniently links most of the local shops. Buses 24/25, 81/82 , 97/98 and 218 are also running a reduced service (generally hourly) until 7pm. See https://travelsouthyorkshire.com/servicechanges/ for timetables.

 

A reduced train service is operating from Dore & Totley station, finishing earlier than normal at 9pm. Check https://www.nationalrail.co.uk/ for times.

Anyone know about takeaways and stuff? I know plenty are open but how safe is it? What are the chances of transmission via food. Genuine question.

[Kidorry]

I should think the food would be O.K. but the stuff it is wrapped in could have the virus on it if anyone who has touched it has the virus.

[Grandad R]

I think there is a lot of information out there and on here.

Sadly, posts and comments can conflict, leading to confusion as well as go out of date as we learn more about the Covid-19 strain of the Corona virus.

This being the case, I suggest keeping a .gov link on your computer, phone, tablet etc and check it every day and use common sense.

Here's a link to get you started

 Be safe everyone.

Still waiting for my authorisation- does the minimum spend still apply and what is the delivery charge? 

I requested a Boots delivery of a prescription and, despite my extremely vulnerable letter saying government is helping pharmacies to deliver free, I was told I would be charged £5 for the service 

I reccomend Echo pharmacy online....they got my medication to me in more or less the same time as usual and it is free

Does anyone know if Sheffield Council are doing anything like a council tax break?

 

I've tried to contact them but i'm stuck in a massive queue and they'll be closed for the weekend soon!

 

The statement on their website does not mention it, I just wondered if anyone else had enquired.

[Guest]

My brother suffers from depression & anxiety and we usually go fishing or just to a nice tranquil area to cloud watch and chill.

At the moment his anxiety levels are soaring and he needs to get out  

Does anyone know if the government have made  allowances  for people like my brother?

Can he drive somewhere and me follow in my car then chill out somewhere quiet but 2 metres apart? 

I think where others are exercising then people with mental health issues should be allowed an hour a day to go somewhere quiet to ease their mind. 

[dave_the_m]

I am not a lawyer, but my understanding is that travelling non-locally for exercise etc is not forbidden by the newly-issued regulations (which have legal force), but is forbidden by the government's published guidelines (which don't have legal force, but which the police are likely to misinterpret as having legal force).  See  this article.
