Cllr John Cottee,
Chairman of the Communities and Place Committee at Nottinghamshire County
Council and also of the Inspire Board, commented;
“During these uncertain times we are committed to the wellbeing of our staff and service users. It is in the interests of the whole community that we have reviewed how we might deliver our services during these challenging times. We will continue to operate in a virtual way, with a variety of online resources already available. We will also be exploring how we extend our online offer, so customers can still access our services remotely”.
