General update


Dear Residents


We are pleased to report that it has been fairly quiet, crime wise, in Englefield Green over the past few weeks. Long may this continue.

We must not be complacent and we urge you to be vigilant and report any suspicious persons and vehicle. If you can obtain the registration number of any vehicle without drawing attention to yourself that would be most helpful

Remember to keep doors locked and windows closed when you are out, even the small fanlight windows through which prospective intruders could lean in and open others.

Regularly check the boundaries of your property for any sign of entry and make sure those garden sheds and outbuildings are kept locked and secure.

Royal Holloway students return in a months time and already some are moving into the Community. The College is advising students to make themselves known to their neighbours and we fuly support this course of action. If you have any problems with noisy students or other residents please report the incidents straight away and do not suffer in silence

The College have an established policy on bringing motorcars to the area directed at those living on campus. Surrey Police support this and the College will be enforcing the policy at the beginning of the term.

The annual Freshers Fayre will be attended by Runnymede Borough Council and the Police where we will continue our engagement with and advice to the student body.

We welcome back fellow Police Community Support Officer Carole Lawford who returns after her epic cycle ride from London to Rome, some 1,270 miles in support of Water Aid. All that way and not 1 puncture between her fellow cyclist and herself. We are hoping there will an article about Carole's trip in the local paper, please look out for it.

GENERAL UPDATE


Dear Residents of Englefield Green

We are now entering the 'quiet period' on the Green with students away for the summer vacation. Its at this time many landlords refurbish their properties prior to re-letting to students. Thieves are still out there so it is important that materials and furnishings are kept secure. Landlords, please keep your properties locked and items of value kept out of sight. Should you be unfortunate enough to suffer a burglary please report it to Surrey Police using the 0845 125 2222 number.

New student tenants will start taking up residency from the beginning of August 2010 and Surrey Police in conjunction with the College and Environmental Health plan to call on as many properties as possible to speak to students regarding community awareness.

If you suffer with noisy student neighbours please let us know as soon as possible so we can address the problem as soon as possible, Don't wait until the start of the academic year in September.

Last December the Egham / Englefield Green Islamic Community held a very successful 'Meet Your Muslim Neighbour Day' in Egham Town Centre. The purpose of the event was to dispell concerns and introduce the Community to the real meaning / understanding of Islam

Unfortunately, the second 'Meet Your Muslim Neighbour' day planned for the 31 July has had to be postponed until the autumn on logistical grounds. please watch this space to see when the next meeting will be held

Unfortunately, we are still experiencing burglaries and thefts from garden sheds and outbuildings. Please maintain security of your property by keeping windows closed and locked when you are away from the property. Doors locked and outbuildings secure.

Fortunately, there are no reports of distraction burglaries in the community nevertheless, we still need to be vigilant and keep an eye out for elderly and vulnerable neighbours.

If you are planning a holiday away, we hope you have an enjoyable and relaxing time. Remember to prepare your home and belongings for your absence. Remember to lock and secure the property, Security lighting for the evening times and don't forget to cancel milk and newspapers if you have them delivered. Advise trusted neighbours of your plans and ask them to keep an eye on your home.

Runnymede Borough Council have arranged a full programme of youth activities for the school holidays at very reasonable cost. Anyone interested further details can be obtained from the Runnymede Borough Council website and we recommed you book your place early to avoid disappointment as places are limited.

Email: runnymedesnt@surrey.pnn.police.uk

Profile: I have been in the role of PCSO since January 2006. I spent a year working in Pooley Green, Hythe and Thorpe before transferring to Englefield Green.
Prior to working for Surrey police my career was varied, working in retail, catering and IT as well as raising 3 children.
Since my family have grown up and now have agendas of their own, I have been able to be more selfish with my spare time.
I enjoy helping to run a Guide Unit where I live, which gives me the opportunity to enjoy a range of outdoor activities as well as spend time with a fabulous group of youngsters – I would recommend it!
In 2008 I took up the challenge of cycling from John O’ Groats to Lands End with my friend and fellow Guide Leader. We achieved our goal - raising over £2000 for Water Aid.
Our next challenge is to cycle from London to Rome in summer 2010.
Ian Scott, John Cundy and I work closely to be an effective team with differing and complimentary strengths, focusing on anti-social behaviour
