Safe Neighbourhood EventSherbuttgate 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.

Oil & Diesel Theft
Alex sent me an email from the Neighbourhood Watch Scheme to let us know that there had been an incident of oil theft for a co-ordinator of the East Riding Neighbourhood Watch Scheme and to be aware of this.
A leaflet from the East Riding Of Yorkshire Council says,
"Theft of heating and diesel oil has been a problem for many years and the police have noticed an increase in this type of crime whenever the price of crude oil rises. A rise in the price of fuel at the petrol pump inevitably leads to a rise in the cost of heating oil. This makes oil a more attractive proposition for the thief and they are now actively targeting fuel tanks at farms, transport depots and domestic properties."

Attempted Burglaries and Burglary
It has been brought to my attention that in the last few weeks there have been a couple of attempted burglaries and a burglary where items were taken.
I just wanted to make people aware of this and to think about their home security.
Remember to check that your doors and windows are secure before you leave your home to go out.
If you have a house alarm, does it work?
If you are going away make sure that your house is secure, do you need to cancel the milk or papers etc, do you have someone checking your property whilst you are away? Will the lights be coming on and going off at timed intervals whilst you are away?
If you use social networking sites (such as facebook, twitter, bebo or myspace, etc) think carefully about what you are posting as your status or tweeting to your friends and followers. Maybe wait till you are back from your a day trip or holiday before posting about it!
"If you see individuals acting suspiciously, or see suspicious vehicles on your street, give the police a call on 0845 60 60 222 or 999 if there is a crime in progress. We'd rather have that call than run the risk of a crime being committed. If you can safely get a description of the person or a registration number of the vehicle, this can also be very helpful. Your information could be the last piece in the jigsaw." Source: Wolds & Weighton Streetbeat newsletter

There has been talk about setting up a Neighbourhood Watch Scheme so if you haven't already shown your interest in joining the scheme then please let us know, so the village can organise a meeting and get the scheme set up. Just fill out the contact form if you are interested in joining Neighbourhood Watch Scheme or if you would like to help set up the scheme in the village.

Keep Your House Secure This Summer
Rachael has sent me the Wolds & Weighton Streetbeat newsletter from the Police and I thought this article was worth posting:
Keep Your House Secure This Summer
With the summer months now approaching, we're asking all householders to think "home security", particularly when out in the garden and when away from home.
People often have their windows open and we're asking everyone to remember that these can be an open opportunity to a thief if left unattended.
Two things to remember:
1. If you're out in the back garden, make sure your house is secure as sneak-in burglars have been known to take advantage when people are working outside in their gardens out of view of their home.
2. Remember to check that your doors and windows are secure before you leave your home to go out. We do get calls to incidents where houses are left insecure and suspicious people are seen near to them. Don’t let this happen to you!
And finally, we're asking everyone to keep an eye out for suspicious people or vehicles in their neighbourhoods over the summer period. If you see individuals acting suspiciously, or see suspicious vehicles on your street, give the police a call on 0845 60 60 222 or 999 if there is a crime in progress. We'd rather have that call than run the risk of a crime being committed.
If you can safely get a description of the person or a registration number of the vehicle, this can also be very helpful. Your information could be the last piece in the jigsaw.

Neighbourhood Watch Scheme
In light of recent events, some of the villagers would like to set up a Neighbourhood Watch Scheme in the village.
I believe that there used to be a Neighbourhood Watch Scheme in the village. Enquiries have recently been made as to setting one up again and it looks like we need to see who in the village is interested in being part of the scheme. Once we know this, we can then set up a meeting and get the Police to come and talk to us. After this a person in the village or a couple of people in the village would agree to be the points of contact for the villagers, so that if you see anything suspicious or anti social then this can be reported to the nominated villager/s who will note it down and let the Police know.
If you are interested in joining the scheme then please let us know, so we can organise a village meeting with the appropriate speakers to attend. Just fill out the contact form if you are interested in joining Neighbourhood Watch or would like further information.
