It is very Christmassy on #britannia the ginger bread village is up and the cakes are showing Christmas cheer @pandocruises

My new home, #midlifecris #runawaytosea hello from the beautiful #Britannia currently in the Caribbean ☀️

@SouthamptonCC @tamas_f I was there at 8.50, home by 10.20 and I live 10 mins away from the site! The Oxford mobile unit is certainly more efficient than the Southampton unit. Thankfully I was in the queue with the Oxford team.

@tamas_f It’s about a 40 min queue at the moment

Morning #shirley! For residents who had a letter or live in SO15 5, the test site at Atherley Bowling Club will be open from 9 (no queue now). The team will also be out again for any people who were out yesterday or to collect tests. #surgetesting 1/2

@SouthamptonCC I am all for testing but it is all rather chaotic. Each test is sealed it would have been easier to deliver to all residents rather than allow the elderly or vulnerable to queue in this weather!

@SouthamptonCC I was there at 8.50 and there was a definitely a queue. I was not asked any details on arrival ie do I live in SO15 5. They were more concerned with my small dog being on site! However thanks to the Oxford Mobile testing you unit, they allowed my dog on site!

@SouthamptonCC @Scumulon Thanks @SouthamptonCC I have messaged you about my sister! Awaiting reply

@SamJHiscock @Scumulon Hi Samantha, or you could PM us? Happy to help

Following a confirmed case of the COVID-19 South African variant in SO15 5 we will be surge testing residents. If you are 16+ and live in SO15 5 you will get a home testing kit or can go to the testing unit at Atherley Bowling Club (Thurs-Sat 09.30-15.30) southampton.gov.uk/coronavirus

@Scumulon @SouthamptonCC Thanks for update Martin very much appreciated. 👍🏼 guess it’s off we go to the bowling club!

@SouthamptonCC @SamJHiscock I’ve had further info from the trial team. It’s only a serology test that’s a problematic. If it’s a PCR test (which I understand this is) then it’s fine to have the test.

@Scumulon @SouthamptonCC Hi I’m on the vaccine trial and also live in this area! What was the outcome of your question, could you PM me Martin.

@SouthamptonCC Hi, I live in this area but I’m enrolled on the vaccine trial and have been advised not to take this test. I presume that’s ok?

@SouthamptonCC My sister is down as clinically vulnerable and shielding will she receive a home test!

Chilly walk this morning! Molly dog kept warm, rocking her purple puffa jacket! @ Southampton Old Cemetery instagram.com/p/CKecJG-pYuw/…

@SouthamptonCC what is the point of double yellow lines (that we did not want outside our properties) when you are not enforcing it! These are not delivery drivers! The white flat bed has been there for two days and night now! Dangerously parked!

@BattagliaAlan @SouthamptonCC They are not delivery drivers!!!! They have been parked there all day! And for the last two days!!!!!

@SouthamptonCC @SamJHiscock snitch van drivers needs to park on double line how are you supposed to get your Amazon parcel???

These are the double yellow lines that no body wanted outside our properties. I now struggle to park near my own house, however vans & cars just abuse them. I politely pointed out the yellow lines and was thrown an absurd amount of abuse! @SouthamptonCC

@SouthamptonCC They have been there daily!

@SamJHiscock @SamJHiscock are they still there now?

@SouthamptonCC Bourne Avenue and Wilton Road!

@SamJHiscock Hi Sam, which street is this on please? We'll get this sent over to our Civil Enforcement Team and see if we can get a warden our ASAP

@RomseyClare @SouthamptonCC My house is also near a school. The yellow lines were put in apparently for the safety of the children. However I have the same problem with the parents parking illegally. It’s madness! Makes no sense which I did at the time point out to the council.

Another amazing concept from @innocent. Is it real 🙃

@MrChrisH77 @HistoricalSoton @Go_Southampton @SotonEvents @UnseenSoton @dailyecho Yes it is, there are quite a few trees adorned with Christmas cheer! It looks lovely on a crisp morning! Definitely worth a visit.

@SamJHiscock @HistoricalSoton @Go_Southampton @SotonEvents @UnseenSoton @dailyecho Is this the one at the bottom of the common? Looks lovely

Beautiful view on my run through the old cemetery in Southampton this morning. Definitely worth a visit. #southampton #heritage @HistoricalSoton @Go_Southampton @SotonEvents @UnseenSoton @dailyecho

Sums things up today. 😀 instagram.com/p/CHrUu_OJ-mw/…
