General update

The Town team are urging anyone who is shopping in town to make sure that their belongings are safe and secure. We are having a spate of thefts of handbags and purses within the town centre. It is easy to become distracted when you are out but please be aware of your surroundings and other people who are near you. Keep all bags zipped up, leave nothing of value on display and if someone bumps into you ensure your belongings are safe. Please do not give thieves an easy opportunity to make you a victim of crime. If you have been the victim of such crimes, please report it to the police immediately so we can bring those responsible to justice.
