A woman who delivering food to a vulnerable resident in Morley, Leeds, has claimed she returned to her car to find a note telling her she should not come back.

As of 23 March, elderly people and those with certain underlying health conditions have been told to practise social shielding for 12 weeks.

These people have been told not to go food shopping, meaning they are reliant on deliveries from supermarkets, neighbours, or good Samaritans such as Sarah Crossland.

Writing on the Facebook group Leedsplace, Ms Crossland explained: “I dropped some shopping off for someone vulnerable.

“I did their shopping alongside my own weekly shop. I parked my car near their house. My window was slightly open due to it being warm.

“When I got back in my car, I found this passive aggressive note on my seat.”

Ms Crossland shared a photograph of the note, which stated that the writer had “recorded” her car’s registration number.

“You have no business in this street,” the note continued.

“You have broken the quarantine regulation. Lock down!”

Ms Crossland said she would have been happy to explain to the disgruntled neighbour what she was doing.

“Moral of the story? Don’t be judgemental to people who are trying to help others,” she added.

Posting a photograph of the note on a different Facebook group, Ms Crossland said the resident she was delivering food to was a single mother with a vulnerable child.
