NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH

You can help to keep you and the village safe by following these simple rules

1. Remaining vigilant and reporting anyone suspicious seen in your area immediately to the Police on 08458 505505. Please don't wait to speak to your co-ordinator first, call in when the person or vehicle is present.

2. Please remember that anyone calling at your door must have ID if they claim to be from a utility company. If you have not called them to your home, get in touch with the company, or notify the Police on 08458 505505. Again do this whilst they are in your area.

3. If you have uPVC doors and windows you must lock them and double lock doors for them to be secure. Many of the rural burglaries, offenders are gaining access through such insecure doors.

4 Keep car keys safe. Do not leave them in your coat hanging next to the door, or on a hall table. Again many of the rural burglaries are stealing vehicles by obtaining vehicles keys through letterboxes and catflaps.
