Public Health England figures looking back to March 2020 show the number of infections recorded on a weekly basis in a particular area since the pandemic began. The data covers every weekly period from March 17, 2020 to April 23, 2021. Public Health England breaks down the numbers of coronavirus cases into neighbourhoods called Middle Super Output Areas (MSOAs), which are smaller than council wards and based on population rather than geographical area. They also have an average population of 7,200.

DORSET Council has approved a 5% council tax rise. It will means residents will continue to pay one of the highest rates in the country, with most average homes having to stump up more than £2,000 a year. During the Tuesday evening debate councillors on all sides complained that the county continues to be treated unfairly by the Government s funding formula. Littlemoor and Preston councillor Louie O Leary was the only majority party member to hit out at the rise, claiming to be speaking on behalf of the silent majority. He said that although he would support the increase it was about time the council declared a tax emergency - mindful that many will struggle to pay the new charges.
