November 2009

Come along and see what is planned for Aynho's roads - there are major changes to Croughton Road, Roundtown and the Banbury Road, involving both traffic flow and parking.

The roadshow runs from 3pm to 7pm to give everyone a chance to attend - on the green in front of the Cartwright Hotel.

RIGHTRACKS ROADSHOWS IN AYNHO AND WOODFORD HALSE

A series of roadshows is continuing in South Northamptonshire as part of a rural road safety initiative. The roadshows give information about the Rightracks project which aims to reduce road casualties on rural roads in Northamptonshire.

The next roadshows will take place on:

Tuesday 1 December, 3-7pm, outside the Cartwright Hotel, Aynho.

Wednesday 9 December, 3-7pm, Phipps Road bus lay-by, Woodford Halse.

As a Beacon Authority for road safety excellence, Northamptonshire County Council, as part of its work in the Casualty Reduction Partnership, has been awarded £1.5 million from the Department for Transport to fund the project, which is investigating the problems facing drivers on rural roads.

Behind every bargain is a victim of crime

It's tempting to buy cheap goods, but the real price of your bargain may be a victim of crime- an elderly lady has been burgled of her jewellery, a child has had their bike stolen, a sat nav has been snatched from a vehicle.

In many cases goods are stolen from the most vulnerable people in our society. The goods are stolen, not because they appeal to the thief directly but the thief knows they can be sold for cash.

Anyone who receives stolen goods or assists the thief in any way to dispose of the goods is actively encouraging the thief to steal. This is why the penalty for handling stolen goods is greater than that for theft.

If you are offered cheap goods, no matter how good the 'bargain' appears to be, please don't buy them. Call the Police (03000 111 222) or Crimestoppers (0800 555 111) and tell us where and when you saw them.

Every single piece of information we receive from you can help to stop this crime. Thank you.

Your local Safer Community Team (SCT) would like to invite you to attend the next Community Panel meeting for your area.

At these meetings, you have the opportunity to talk about any problems or concerns you may have in the locality where you live or work. After these discussions, those attending agree on a maximum of three priority issues for the local SCT and partner agencies to try to resolve over the following three months.

These can include such topics as anti-social behaviour, speeding, vehicle/motorbike nuisance, lack of youth provision..... anything which is creating problems or is a cause for concern in your local community.

Police officers and representatives from other agencies will also report back on what has been done over the past three months with regard to the previous locally identified priorities and give an update on overall crime in your area.

Anyone from the community is welcome to come along and members of your local SCT look forward to meeting you.
