Outdoor Cleaning. Is this an essential service?

Adam from Wellington Wash

Hi Neighbours,

Wondering if anyone would know if cleaning is an essential service. I run an exterior cleaning business and have the ability to sanitise children's playgrounds, park benches, etc. And any other outdoor area where people will likely cross contaminate over the next 4 weeks.

I've left a message with the council and maybe they already have this covered.

Do you think this would be a valuable service during this time?

Keep well everyone!

Hi there. My name is Jan and I live on Monthomery Avenue.

There is lots we can do even though we can’t be physically close. The worst thought I have is that someone is suffering when someone who lives next door could do something to ease this. Take care.
