Covid infection rates in Bracknell Forest are steadily continuing to decrease.
Crowthorne North no longer has the highest rate of new cases for the week ending February 9.
College Town overtook this with 639.1 cases per 100,000 people.
Despite cases in the city continuing to drop, Paul Bettison, Bracknell Forests council leader, has urged people to continue adhering to the lockdown rules if we want to see this decline continuing.
He said: "I want to say a big thank you to everyone who has been following the stay at home rules – you are making a difference in our fight against COVID-19 transmission.
"Very sadly, some people continue to flout the rules and risk their own health and that of their loved ones.
"In order to spread the message that it’s important to stay at home unless for essential reasons."

The rolling rate per 100,000 people is 295.9 which is above the national average.
