Welcome to our latest news and properties to let page
We report our latest news here...............
A Message to all at Blagdon from Matt Ridley.
Anya and I know this is a really difficult time for many
of you, whether you are in ill health, lonely, trying to keep
educating your children or worried about loss of work or
business.
We are very grateful to you for following the government's
advice to stay at home and keep your distance. This is not
just for your own good but because any one of us could become an
unwitting carrier of the virus and give it to somebody who might
then die.
Our first concern is for anybody who experiences severe
ill health, and please let us know if there is something we or
anybody else can do to help, though the first call should be to 111
or 999, of course. And do try to keep an eye out to check that your
neighbours are all right.
Please contact the estate office by phone if you are
concerned about something. The team is fielding calls from home. We
may not be able to help but we will certainly try. Do excuse us if
we are not able to do everything, but some of the estate staff are
now working from home and some things may not be possible. We are
deliberately cutting back on non-essential repairs and
improvements, but will do our best to respond to any
emergency.
Rest assured that we are not going to let anybody get into
serious financial trouble and there is now help available from the
government for most people.
Meanwhile do please make any suggestions for how we can
all help each other get through this and cheer each other
up.
And when you get out of the house for your one bit of
exercise during the day do please enjoy the grounds around the hall
and the footpaths all over the estate while keeping your distance
from each other. We are lucky in one respect - that we live in such
a lovely place and the daffodils don't pick themselves!
All best wishes
Matt

Blagdon update on Coronavirus (Covid-19) - March
2020:
You've probably seen or heard something about the government's
plans to manage Covid-19 across the UK should the situation
escalate. At Blagdon Estate, we take the health and safety of
our staff, tenants and community very seriously and we hope that
you will support us by following the Public Health England
guidance.
We fully support the government's guidance with immediate effect
and are taking sensible steps such as reinforcing the following
general principles to prevent spreading any respiratory virus:
- Wash your hands often - with soap and water for at least 20
seconds, or an alcohol-based sanitiser if soap and water aren't
available
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed
hands
- Avoid close contact with people who are sick
- Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue
in a bin
- Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces in
the home
- If you're worried about your symptoms, please call NHS 111 -
don't go directly to your GP or other healthcare environment
As the situation escalates it may take a bit longer than
usual to respond to queries and attend to jobs. We ask for your
patience if this happens.
We also ask that people do not visit the estate office unless it
is absolutely necessary. Please phone if you are unsure.
