NHW APRIL UPDATE

FRAMLINGHAM SAFER NEIGHBOURHOOD TEAM

April has arrived with a bit of a mix weather wise and I think the same could be said for crime in the area. The rise in domestic fuel charges has seen a rise in the theft of oil from domestic tanks in the countryside, with as far as I am aware, no arrests as yet, so we need to be on our toes about suspicious activities of larger vehicles. I have had a report of a white transit type van with its back cut off replaced with a large black tank, its been seen driving around the back roads north of Peasenhall but could get anywhere in the area. No index number as yet, it could be quite innocent but it would be nice know that for certain. It would be worth while to let your scheme residents know that this is an on going problem and ask them to keep their eyes open for vehicles that don’t look quite right in the area.

At this time of year we have the local Annual Parish and Town meetings and I am pleased to tell you that our Community Police Officer Mark Bryant is making every effort to attend them all, even coming in on his day off. So if you do go to your Annual meeting please introduce yourselves and have a chat especially if you have not met him before, he will be very happy to talk to you.

The get together we had at Badingham village hall on the 12th February went very well and it was great that so many of you could attend. Those who could not make the evening will have another chance later in the year. With the help of some Framlingham NHW co-ordinators we are hoping to have a purely social event, probably a street BQ, this will take place around the end of June, date to be confirmed as they say and with all out door events, dependent on the weather. I also intend to organise a more formal evening for us sometime in October. For this we could perhaps have a guest speaker and others who can give us their views or information that you may find both interesting and helpful to your area. If anyone has any thoughts or suggestions please let me know then I can start booking peoples time, diaries seem to fill up very quickly.

I don’t seem to have got out in to the parishes as much as I would like to but hopefully thing will improve with the arrival of Christian Hassler to Framlingham, he is a fellow Community Support Officer and he will be covering the southern part of the town and the schools. This will free up some of my time from Framlingham town and allow me to get to events in the parishes so if you are planning any coffee mornings, fetes, garden parties or social evenings in your areas please let me know, it would be nice to be able to mix and make myself known and available to everyone.
