Individual Villages (e.g. Langcliffe, Gargrave) also have their response teams that Settle will be able to tell you about. Use this if you need help while self-isolating, or just a calm and friendly voice if you have any concerns; or if you want to offer help to others collecting shopping or prescriptions etc, or have enquiries.
