General update

Now that the evenings are lighter for longer and the nice weather is approaching, it's time to start thinking about your garden security. Make sure that your shed has a good locking system on it, windows should be covered so items inside cannot be seen and valuable items should be anchored to the floor. Please keep a note of serial numbers of all items housed there, ie. lawnmower, hedge trimmer, pedal cycle etc. Any items you do not intend to sell on, we advise you to paint your postcode in bold letters using a bright coloured paint. Should you require any further crime prevention information please call Surrey Police on 0845 125 2222

You said:- Residents of Bousley Rise and parents collecting children from Ottershaw C of E School, have reported that a number of vehicles leaving the location are driving on the pavement due to oncoming traffic.

We did:- These drivers are probably of the opinion that this alleviates the congestion in the road. They are in fact committing an offence of driving on a pavement, as well as causing considerable danger to the many pedestrians who walk home from the school. We have conducted enforcement days with our partners from Runnymede Borough Council as well as impromptu visits by PCSOs to reinforce the message of not driving in such a manner. These enforcement days will continue sporadically.

You said:- A couple of residents have been reporting sightings of suspicious vehicles in various locations.

We did:- We advise residents to report any suspicious activity as quickly as possible via the Surrey Police reporting line of 0845 125 2222 and if at all feasible to gain details ie. decription of persons, vehicle and vehicle registration number.
