NORTHWOOD COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP REPORT

(Eileen Turner-Palmerton, Secretary)

During the past month, we have welcomed several new members to the Partnership and they will give us the support we need, to carry out some projects for the benefit of the village. You may have noticed that the whole village has been planted out with the autumn/winter plants.
The Partnership would like to express their thanks to John Pullen, Marie Ely and Keren Ellis, for their time and hard work. The ‘Northwood Gnomes’ are still alive and working!! We hope you will all enjoy the display of colour in the near future.
We have been very fortunate in obtaining funding to support the continuation of the Residents Events. More details will be in the next issue.

The next Residents Event will take place on

WEDNESDAY 17TH NOVEMBER 2010 at 2.30-4.30pm in the W. I. Hall.

Why don’t you come along and enjoy the ‘First Christmas Party’ of 2010. We might even do a bit of Carol Singing. So we look forward to seeing you all there, in good voice and bring your friends, it’s only £1.00.

The next Community Partnership meeting is on
Tuesday 23rd November 2010 at 7.45pm in the W. I. Hall.
All are very welcome to attend.

NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH REPORT (John Pullen)
Whilst there has been a fairly quiet summer in Northwood one or two incidents have occurred which cause concern.
There were Burglaries in Wyatts Lane in properties being renovated.
The police successfully found the culprits and recovered some stolen items. It is fairly certain that the properties were targeted because they were empty and easy to enter.
A vehicle was also broken into and a fire extinguisher removed and discharged farther down the road.
A shed was broken into at the W.I hall, but thanks to the prompt actions of a local resident, the five young people concerned were arrested by the police, and one received an official reprimand.
Significant damage was done to a bus shelter in Nodes Road near the junction with Pallance Road. Two youngsters have been identified as being responsible.

No Cold Calling

There have been some incidents of cold calling by energy companies. This despite a commitment by the biggest companies not to approach a property displaying a No Cold Calling sticker.
I have a small supply of No Cold Calling window stickers if anybody needs one.
Please let me know of any incidents of people cold calling, or ring Trading Standards on 01983 823370.
Ring 01983 281250if you are interested in the Black and Green recycling bins.

Do not forget Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. You do not need to identify yourself and the calls are not recorded.
