Message from PC Loraine Stockham - Hatch Warren Beat Officer
Dear Residents,
Remember Remember the fifth of November, Yes it is that time of year again I love this particular holiday not just because in co-incides with my Birthday. I love the fire works and the fancy dress and YES also the candy!!. This Holiday in particular does seem to bring out a certain element of mischievousness in some people who take that holiday spirit a little too far and risk ruining it for everyone else. I am determined that this will not happen this year. Police will be increasing the number of patrols in the area and over the holiday season and my beat team and I will be working late shifts every night for the two week period. Mainly so we can enjoy the free fireworks and hopfully share some Candy from those of you out Trick or Treating as we cycle past and on a serious note we would like you all to feel reassured when you go out trick or treating that we will be there along side with you. Not collecting candy but rounding up those persons behaving in an antisocial manner or seeking to spoil the holiday for others.
A new initiative has been launched to create a wildlife group to manage the two woodland parks on either side of the A30 at Kempshott and Hatchwarren. The group would like to hear from anyone who would like to learn more about field or evening events as they are planned or better still who would like to be more directly involved in doing things.
