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 17^th 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.
