RADSTOCK BRIEFING: Thursday March 26

Supermarket update:

It was only back last December that Radco stopped a shopping service where the vulnerable could order by phone and then collect their shopping. What a shame it stopped. At times like this that could have been a really helpful way of the less abled getting food and essentials. Sadly the company confirmed to Nub News yesterday (March 25) that as far as they know there are no plans to reinstate it.
