Neighbourhood Watch
Introduction
If you are new to the village, we would like to welcome you, and tell you a little about ourselves. The Neighbourhood Watch group has been active in the village for several years, but membership dropped off and the group was not really working well. As part of our Parish Plan, the group was reformed, and has become more active in the last couple of years.
Though our region does not experience high levels of crime, we feel that fostering good neighbourliness, and keeping an eye on our community is always important, and that is what we try to do.
There is a very loose structure, with no money involved! We meet every 2 months to discuss any problems or issues that have arisen. See calendar for meeting dates. We are very well supported by our local Police Community Support Officer Michelle Haimes, who keeps us informed about what might be a local problem, and helps with Crime Prevention initiatives, and general raising of awareness locally.
We would like to thank South Somerset Homes for their support, and particularly Vicky Saunders, the warden at Buttle Close, who makes us so welcome.

Secure your Oil F358
You are no doubt aware of the escalating costs of oil and as a result there have been a number of reported thefts of heating oil from tanks in domestic properties throughout our policing district.
Could you please ask your members that have oil tanks to check these periodically throughout the summer for theft of oil rather than wait until later in the year when the central heating is switched on. Please also report to the police any suspicious activity regarding sightings of vehicles carrying containers or towing bowsers.
If you require specific security advice please telephone 0845 456 7000 and ask to be put in touch with either your local Beat team or the District Crime Reduction Officer who is based at Wells.
