They challenged the man but he apparently could not speak English.
The

the case – please be careful what goes into black bags and rubbish.
If you throw bills and any paperwork that could identify you or
your circumstances away – it must be torn into small pieces.
You only need 2 utility bills to open a bank account in the name on

COMMENTS FIRST
FROM THE BOROUGH !! Latest
campaign to rid Borough’s Parks and Open Spaces of dog mess Errant
dog owners who fail to clear up after their dog are being warned ‘enough
is enough’ as the Royal Borough’s Community Safety Partnership starts
its latest campaign to rid the borough of dog mess on Tuesday 2 April at
Home Park, Windsor. To
coincide with the clocks going forward at the end of March, heralding
lighter mornings and evenings, community wardens will increasingly start
to work in known ‘hot spots’, carrying out early morning and evening
patrols when there are often greater numbers of people out walking their
dogs. As
part of the campaign, community wardens will approach dog owners to check
if they have dog bags ready for use. If not, they will be handed one and
asked to use a bag every time their dog fouls in a public place including
pavements and verges. Dog
owners are reminded that the bag should be disposed of in a bin and not
left in a public place. Bagged dog waste can be placed in any bin – not
just designated dog waste bins. To
complement the campaign, leaflets educating people on the implications of
failing to clear up after their dog have been produced and wardens will
have these available. Cllr
Carwyn Cox, cabinet member for community safety, said: “We are not out
to spy on people or jump out and issue a fixed penalty notice. “These
additional patrols are an ideal way to promote responsible dog ownership
and educate the very small minority who don’t clear up. “Dog
mess is an eyesore and a health hazard. If you are a dog owner, you have a
legal duty to clean up every time your dog messes in a public place.
Please bag it, tie it and bin it and help keep the borough free of dog
mess.” Andy
Aldridge, senior community warden, said: “Time and time again, dog mess
comes up as a priority for neighbourhood action groups. “It
is a shame that we need to carry out these patrols as it really is a small
minority who give dog owners a bad name. All community wardens carry dog
mess bags with them and will provide these to owners if necessary.” AND: Community
safety ‘springs’ into action for latest crime reduction campaign With
the clocks going forward on Sunday 31 March, the Royal Borough’s
community safety Team in partnership with Thames Valley Police, is taking
the opportunity to remind people, to keep their homes and possessions
safe. The
spring burglary prevention campaign is specifically targeted at
non-dwelling burglary, including sheds and garages, and kicks off on Monday
25 March with a Road show at Cookham Road allotment between 2
and 3pm. To
complement the Road Shows, the Royal Borough’s community safety team and
Thames Valley Police have produced a range of information sheets and cards
with hints and tips for keeping homes, sheds and garages safe and
burglary-free. The
popular burglary prevention Road Shows will continue to take place
throughout the spring and summer. Future dates include: ·
Monday
25 March,
2 to 3.30pm, Bisham Primary School ·
Wednesday
3 April,
10.30 to 11.30am, Maidenhead Library ·
Friday
19 April,
2 to 3.30pm, Waltham St Lawrence School ·
Monday
29 April,
12noon to 2pm, All Saints’ Church, Windsor ·
Saturday
1 June,
10.30am to 4.30pm, Windsor Library, Bachelors Acre, Windsor. The
Road shows provide residents with crime reduction advice and also have
examples of locks, information leaflets and personal safety advice. Details
of future Road Shows are available on the community safety website http://www.rbwmsafety4all.org.uk/burglaryroadshows.htm The
community safety partnership has issued the following garden and shed
security advice: ·
lock
away your garden tools ·
secure
contents of sheds by looping them together with a strong chain and secure
the chain to the strongest part of your shed/garage ·
property-mark
electrical goods by etching on your postcode and house number ·
consider
fitting a garage/shed alarm ·
secure
side accesses ·
don’t
leave garden implements or other items that could be used to break into
your house lying around ·
consider
using gravel on driveways and around garden sheds – footstep noise helps
deter unwanted guests ·
lock
cars, even in the garage ·
don’t
leave property on show in your vehicle and remove all valuables. Cllr
Carwyn Cox, cabinet member with responsibility for community safety, said:
“Spring often heralds the start of better weather with many people able
to enjoy their garden or allotment. “Although
incidents of non-dwelling burglaries, which includes sheds, garages and
outbuildings, are down on last year, there has unfortunately been a recent
spate of such burglaries which is why this is the focus of our latest
campaign. We want to do all we can to reduce the numbers of burglaries
which is why we are continuing with the Road shows which proved so
popular. “A
series of information leaflets and cards have been produced to reinforce
the message and these will be used in conjunction with the other
information already available. We will update the community safety website
to reflect the spring campaign, http://www.rbwmsafety4all.org.uk/crime_reduction.htm” Supt
Simon Bowden,
local policing Area Commander (LPA) for the Royal Borough, said: “Sheds
and garages are often the storage place for expensive sports and gardening
equipment. If you have to use your garage to store such items, lock it
within the garage, security mark it and properly secure the access points.
Why not come along to one of the Road shows and take steps to safeguard
your property ?” NEXT: A
