The Newark Advertiser s New Year messages Published: 06:00, 01 January 2021
2020 was certainly an eventful year with unprecedented times for everyone, writes Newark and Bingham MP Robert Jenrick.
In 2021 we, the government, will ramp up vaccinations across the country and over time, as the virus recedes, I hope we will be able to return to where we can all meet one another safely and enjoy the things we love.
I would like to thank everyone for their hard work in such a challenging year.
Newark MP Robert Jenrick.
I would especially like to thank those on the front line, from those working in the NHS, carers working in the community and care homes to those in local government, who have all helped deliver such vital services in the time of need for our country.
