There have been eighteen deaths attributed to the COVID-19 pandemic in the Neston and surrounding area up to the end of May.
The Office for National Statistics has released figures broken down into neighbourhoods, which tally deaths taking place between March 1 and May 31 and registered by June 6.
Locally the figures are:
Neston and Parkgate - 7
Little Neston - 5
Hooton, Willaston and Ness - 6
In Cheshire overall, there have been over 1100 deaths registered as due to the coronavirus.
Whilst some lockdown measures have been eased, residents are still being urged to maintain social distancing guidelines and to carry out simple hygiene measures to ensure that the 'R' rate continues to drop.

Long overdue information. I have been trying to get this, without success, since lockdown began. Please keep us updated. It helps focus the mind on how to keep safe.

I agree, I would also like to know what the"R" rate is locally.

These figures are worse than London who had 6000 deaths in 9 million people ( 666 deaths per million) with Cheshire 1100 deaths in 1 million people and Neston parish 18 deaths in 15000 people ( 1200 deaths per million).

Do we understand whether these are deaths of residents of these areas, or deaths which have occurred in these areas?

According to the ons.gov.uk website: ‘Figures exclude death of non-residents and are based on May 2020 boundaries.’

What I was trying to find was whether they include the deaths of Neston residents at the local hospitals, I think they must do because of you go to the ONS website you don't find a huge spike at the postcode of Arrowe Park hospital. So they must use the home address on the death certificate.

Hi Dave,
For this purpose the ONS are using the 'usual' address of the deceased as opposed to place of death. Both are recorded at the registration of the death.

interestingly, the ONS death figures for the whole of Cheshire, show that the virus has caused a similar number of deaths in each village (or quoted area) throughout the whole county. So, the virus is everywhere. One of the highest figures I saw was 25 for Capenhurst Moston Saughall.

Did people contract virus in hospital or CH64?
