Parish Council maintenance work
The Parish Council will be carrying out some maintenance work next week:
  1. Thursday 31 August. All Seasons Tree Solutions Ltd will be removing two trees on the Upper Common Lane side of the Jubilee Field, for safety reasons. Logs will be stacked and left as habitat within woodland, where possible, but will be available to be removed as firewood – please leave the stacks tidy.
  2. Friday 1 September (afternoon). Contractors will repaint the yellow lines and logos on the car park which mark off the pedestrian area. Again, this is for safety reasons.  Please make sure that all cars are parked on the other side of the car park on Friday.
From the Police:
Thefts from vehicles – crime prevention advice:
Most vehicle crime is preventable. It can take as little as 10 seconds for a thief to steal something from your car. The best way to protect your belongings is to lock your car whenever you leave it. Other things you can do include:
  • Removing everything from the car; don't even leave a jacket where it can be seen.
  • Closing the sunroof along with the windows when you leave.
  • Not storing things in the boot or glove box; take them with you.
  • Storing car ownership information in your home, not your car.
  • Having a routine to ensure you always take the keys out of the ignition.
  • Taking removable stereos and sat nav equipment with you.
  • Using secure (theft resistant) number plates can make your plates less attractive to thieves.
  • Reporting any suspicious people or behaviour to the police (by calling 101 or 999 in an emergency)
For more crime prevention advice please visit www.thamesvalley.police.uk/advice or call your local neighbourhood policing team on 101.
