Surrey Police: Home Security

We have noticed an increase in attemted break ins due to the unseasonably hot weather where residents are opening their windows to let in the cool air and forgetting to close them or lock back doors when they go out.

Could I ask you to impress on your neighbours the importance of ensuring that their homes are secure which means closing and locking all windows and doors when leaving the house.  Also, if you leave a window open when you go to bed please ensure that it has a locking mechanism to ensure that it cannot be opened wide enough to allow anyone to gain entry while you are asleep.

Thank you for your ongoing assistance.

Surrey Police: Sheds

Don't lose a shed load
SURREY Police is running a campaign to raise awareness of thefts from sheds and is giving advice to residents on how to protect their property from thieves.
Although you might not think your shed is worth much, when you consider the lawnmower; the bike; the power tools; the golf clubs; the tennis rackets; the ladder; and the barbeque, they all add up.
By taking a few simple measures such as marking your property and getting a shed alarm padlock you could reduce the likelihood of being targeted.
As part of the campaign Surrey Police and Eagle Radio (96.4FM) will be running three road shows; on Saturday 24 March in Guildford - Town Bridge; Saturday 31 March in Staines - High St; and Saturday 14 April in Leatherhead - High St.
For the chance to obtain a free shed alarm padlock, residents can take a photo of their shed on a phone or camera and bring it to one of the roadshows. For more details on the roadshow and security advice please visitwww.surrey.police.uk/sheds
Chief Superintendent Gavin Stephens from Surrey Police Neighbourhood Command said: "In recent years we have seen a rise in thefts from sheds and garages in the lead up to the summer. This campaign aims to raise awareness and give residents practical advice in order to reduce the risk of it happening to them. The advice is simple – don’t lose a shed load, lock it and alarm it".

Dorking Leisure Centre Consultation

Dear All

 

The Council owns Dorking Sports Centre, Reigate Road, Dorking and currently runs it through a leisure operator. The current contract with Leisure Connection will expire in November 2013. We are inviting your views on the much loved Centre and the facilities that it offers before the contract goes out to tender. James Friend, Leader of the Council, has specifically asked that you be invited to complete this survey, which will now be live until 6 March. We'd appreciate it if you could forward the survey on to your contacts, as we're keen that as many people as possible get the opportunity to have their say.

 

You can submit your views on our website: http://www.molevalley.gov.uk/index.cfm?articleid=13010

 

Please do let me know if you would like me to send you some hard copies. Alternatively, the survey is available in hard copy format at the Dorking Sports Centre, the Pippbrook offices and Leatherhead HelpShop.

 

Kind regards

Louise

Another Scam Warning

From Ashtead Residents:


"Just a warning for Ashtead residents, I have just had letters supposedly
from Hung Pang of Kexim Asia offering me a 50% share of £10.5M. It is a
typical phishing attempt to try to get bank details - this time on paper
instead of as an email. I assume someone is working through the Ashtead
phone book since I have two numbers listed under 2 names and had letters
addressed to both.

Please pass this on - especially to older people who may not be so familiar
with phishing on the internet!" 

Commuting Information

Dear Sir, I am writing to let you know that we have recently updated our website to incorporate traffic information, which you might find helpful if you drive in London. On the site, you will now find details of live traffic incidents and planned events and roadworks information up to two weeks in advance. To help you avoid traffic delays, information is displayed on a searchable map so it is easy to see if you are affected. For real time updates to traffic information, follow us on twitter @TfLTrafficNews or please visit tfl.gov.uk/trafficnews Disruptive or badly-managed roadworks can also cause traffic delays. Report them and we will sort out problems on the roads managed by us or direct your report to the relevant borough to ensure action can be taken. Visit tfl.gov.uk/roadworks

Yours sincerely,

Garrett Emmerson Chief Operating Officer, Surface Transport
