Police Notice

Published on by Lesley WebbLeave a comment
There have been recent dwelling burglaries where the main objective appears to be stealing the occupant’s vehicle. Please consider the security of your vehicle and remember the below:

1. If a garage is available, ensure that your vehicle is secured inside it when possible. If you have two vehicles, park the lowest-value one outside and close to the garage door to prevent them being forced.

2. If present, ensure any driveway gates are closed and locked.

3. Ensure your vehicle is always locked and consider using additional security devices such as steering wheel locks, trackers and the like.

4. No keys should be stored in locations which are visible through doors, windows etc, or within easy reach of letterboxes or other openings.

5. When you are away, or at night, consider taking your keys to bed with you, but ensure all the residents know where they are in case of an emergency.

6. Consider storing your keys (depending on their functionality) in a ‘Faraday’ type pouch or box.

Published on by stpetrock1Leave a comment

A reminder please to those who are able to help keep our churchyard in good order – we meet again this Saturday 7th September between 10am and 12 noon (or any time inbetween) and choose an area of the churchyard which needs some attention. Many hands make light work and the help already given has been so appreciated. If you can spare some time, simply bring your gloves and gardening tools and we will be delighted to see you. We dispose of the gardening waste afterwards. Next monthly session will be Saturday 5th October. Thank you very much indeed.
