Pocklington Canal

After contacting Nature England about the state of the canal and the surrounding SSSI, I have been contacted by Lizzie Dealey who is the Pocklington Canal Project Officer.  She is keen to build up relationships with local parishes and provide information from the Canal and River Trust about works soon to be  taking place on the canal, particularly those relating to habitat improvements.She is hosting a Drop In Information Event at Melbourne Village Hall on Thursday 17th November (2:30pm – 7:00pm). Please could you post the attached poster on the Blog. 




I have sent Paul information and it will be brought to the village meeting.  I hope to be in receipt of her quarterly magazine and other information which I will pass on to the village and we may get her to come and talk to the village. There is a great opportunity for villagers to get involved with looking after this important SSSI.
Thanks
Susan

Safe Beighbourhood Event

Safe Neighbourhood Event
Sherbuttgate Neighbour Watch Group in Pocklington are organising a Safe Neighbourhood Event which will take place at Burnby Hall between 10am and 12pm  on Saturday 22 October 2016. You are very welcome to attend.
 
The morning's open event is for members of the public from across the area to come along and meet officers from a range of services such as Trading Standards (Cold Calling Zones), Crime Prevention, Fire and Rescue, Victim Support, Dog Warden Service, Humberside Police, Trading Standards and Farm Watch.

The aim is to demonstrate to the residents of the East Riding the type of partners that Neighbourhood Watch groups work with and hopefully that will convince more people to sign up on behalf of their streets/villages.

Dangers of Button Batteries

We've received this email so thought it may be a useful reminder.


Dangers of Button Batteries.
 
We recently sent out an e-mail regarding the dangers of these batteries if swallowed by a child.  A parent has suggested it would be helpful to give guidance what you should do if this happens, many thanks to her.
 
If your child does swallow a battery:

It's so important to take the child straight to hospital.
DO NOT make the child sick
DO NOT give them anything to eat or drink. These 2 things are often the gut reaction to a child swallowing something but will speed up the corrosive action.

Warning About People Offering To Do Jobs

 We have recently had a call from a person concerned that a gardener had visited her elderly parents and was going to carry out some work for them. The caller was concerned that the gardener was going to rip them off as he was trying to charge £2,000 just to move some gravel and replace it.
Can we all be aware and keep an eye on our elderly friends, relatives and neighbours to stop people taking advantage of them.
 
This was obviously in Driffield but it happens all over.
 
We recently arrested two males in the Kilham area for a similar offence so please report anything suspicious on 101.

Pocklington Police Update October 2016

Pocklington Provincial Update for October 2016
1.    Priority
Issue: Pocklington Town Centre area (Evenings):

Throughout October, we are to continue our High Visibility patrols of the Pocklington Town Centre area to deter potential anti-social behaviour. These patrols include regular checks on peripheral areas at Pocklington Infants’ School, Maxwell Road (periodic reports of criminal damage and youths causing annoyance), All Saints Church (periodic reports of anti-social behaviour on an evening) and town car parks (reports of low level anti-social behaviour). Criminal offenders will be challenged robustly, arrested or reported for summons. Penalty Notices for Disorder or warning letters may be used in appropriate cases however, those who offend should expect to be arrested and dealt with if their anti social behaviour amounts to criminal offending.  The exercise of discretion should not be expected.

2    Priority
Issue: Youths causing annoyance with Vehicles, Stamford Bridge (Evenings):

Officers will continue patrols in Stamford Bridge and the Viking Road car park. Anyone caught engaging in anti-social behaviour will be dealt with under the FAIRWAY process jointly with East Riding of Yorkshire Council. It is unlikely that any discretion will be shown.  Also drivers using their cars to cause alarm or distress will be considered for warnings and possible seizure of their vehicles under Section 59 of the Police Reform Act.

5.    News and Appeals
Be prepared.

With winter on its way and the evenings starting to get darker, please consider the below and be prepared!

  1. Home

Don’t let a burglar think that no one is at home. Always leave a light on in more than one room, eg a bedroom, kitchen or lounge.

Use timer switches so that the lights come on as it starts to get dark especially if you are at work or going to be out all day.

Change the times on the switches so that the lights come on at different times to create the illusion that someone is moving around inside the house.

Consider installing outside sensor lights that are activated by movement- especially at the back of your property or dusk to dawn lighting that comes on automatically as it gets dark.

  1. Cars

Make sure you check your lights before you set out in case a bulb has blown. (You might even consider carrying a spare light bulb or two)

Make sure your window washer is full of water and screen wash and that there is anti- freeze in your radiator.

Check the tyres. Have they got a decent amount of tread on them and are they at the correct pressure? If in doubt, get them checked.

Are your registration plates and car lights clean or do they need a wash?

Think about what you might need if you break down in the cold. Is there a blanket or a torch in the car?  Consider having a mobile phone with you too.

  1. Riding your bicycle

Check that you have lights on the front and back of your bike that work. (ie a white front light, a rear red light and a red rear reflector)

Make sure you wear light coloured clothing, preferably luminous with reflective stripes.

Make sure whatever you wear can’t become entangled in wheels or chains.

Don’t carry heavy bags or rucksacks which may make you unstable.

Always wear a helmet, as it may help to prevent serious head injuries, make sure it fits you and conforms to current British Standards.

Fit a bell to warn other road users of your presence.
