From Wednesday 2 December 2020, as we enter Tier 3 in the Government’s Covid-19 restrictions, our Hubs in Pontefract and Wakefield will re-open to the public, with all safety measures and precautions taken to keep you and our employees safe.  However, our Service Access Points at Airedale and South Elmsall will remain closed. When visiting, we ask that you wear a face covering, sanitise your hands and keep a safe distance from employees and other members of the public. During lockdown, we have been able to continue providing our residents with support online and over the phone, and encourage tenants to continue doing so to avoid any unnecessary contact.
