Snippets…

May 22, 2020 by Maggi Barnard

Kathy Collitis is back at Council’s customer service counter.

Council Offices Open to the Public Again: Forbes Shire residents can pay their accounts at Council’s Customer Service counter again after closing in March due to COVID-19. The Council advises a maximum of three people are allowed in the customer service area at any one time.

Entry to the foyer is available through the electric sliding doors in Harold Street. Everyone is asked to wait outside until space is available. Those leaving the foyer will let the next customer know it is their turn.

Council asks that people with cold and/or flu-like symptoms do not enter the building but rather call the administration office on 6850 2300.

The community are reminded to use the Local Assistance Line should they have queries regarding services and assistance due to COVID-19. The number to call is 6850 2393.

Free Movie Streaming: Central West Libraries members in Forbes can now stream hundreds of the best Australian and independent movies, documentaries, and festival favourites at home for free using their library cards. To log-in to the service library members need to use their membership number.

Beamafilm offers more than 750 independent films with the option for high definition streaming. Its outstanding collection has been handpicked, with a strong focus on award-winning indie features, documentaries, classics, and Aussie masterpieces. It is the perfect solution if you’re looking for something different to watch during the week or for a weekend treat.

If you require assistance with your library membership card, please call library staff on 6393 8132 during weekdays 9am to 5pm. Head to the website www.cwl.nsw.gov.au for online resources available 24/7.

Pushing For A Good Cause: Western NSW Local Health District (WNSWLHD) leaders are taking part in the 2020 Push up challenge. The team of 10 has to individually do 3,046 push ups over 21 days. WNSWLHD Chief Executive Scott McLachlan said, “I am proud of our WNSWLHD Warriors Team and all the other staff members in other teams who are taking part in this challenge. It’s for a worthwhile cause.” If you or someone you know is struggling, you can contact lifeline on 13 11 14.

WNSWLHD Chief Executive Scott McLachlan is pushing up the profile of mental health in rural communities.
