Vagrant In Milford
A previously well known vagrant has returned to the Milford area in the last few weeks.
Posters have been distributed to shops and retail premises in the village. This gentleman has been reported and seen in the Station Lane area as he commutes between Farncombe and Milford by train. He has a current Anti Social Behaviour Order in force until 2012, which prevents him entering Godalming Town Centre, any church or place of worship in the UK, and preventing him causing alarm harassment and distress. We are currently case building so please report any sightings on the 0845 125 22 22 non-emergency number.

Summer Security
Recently, albeit in Godalming, a dwelling was burgled because the occupant left all the windows open in the fine weather. If you are only going out for a few minutes please close doors and windows, it only takes a few seconds for a thief to ruin your day.

Street Meetings
Our street meetings continue to be popular, and this month sees the start of a new rail station based surgery to be held at Witley Station. (details in the panel on the right). Please come along to this or any other of our street meetings, whether you have any issues to raise or not as we are always pleased to see you.

Until next month,

PC Taylor and PCSO Boxall

General update

Written by FIN: 13228

You Said... We Did

You told us... that action needed to be taken against speeding on the A283 through Witley.
We responded... by continuing our speed checks on the length of the A283 from the Cherry Tree Roundabout at Milford, to Lane End. The most recent being on Tuesday, 29 June. Offenders were duly identified and action taken against them.


You told us... about traffic travelling too fast along School Lane in Witley, at school start and finish times.
We responded... by liaising with the Head Teacher at Witley Infant School - and action will be taken against anyone found exceeding the speed limit in future.


Anti-social behaviour at Milford Hospital
Although securely fenced, the derelict area at Milford Hospital is subject to some £2,000 worth of damage each month. Shortly before the May school half-term, a large group of youths were found trespassing there. The building has an unsafe roof and loose asbestos - we were therefore concerned for the health and safety of any youngsters entering the site. By working with local schools we identified 18 youths responsible for this behaviour. Each has since received a visit from the Safer Neighbourhood Team and an official warning letter. We continue to monitor the site.


Burglar arrested in Witley
A 16 year-old youth known for burglary was arrested in Witley on Thursday, 1 July after being disturbed by the resident of a house in Wormley. PCSO Boxall and PC Taylor tracked the suspect for a mile-and-a-half through wooded countryside, with assistance from the Surrey Police helicopter and Response Team colleagues from Guildford.


Summer Security
Just a quick reminder that even if you are going out for only a few minutes, please close doors and windows. It only takes a few seconds for an opportunist thief to ruin your day.


Street Meetings
As you can see in the Meeting Point panel on the right, we hold successful, well attended street meetings in the area throughout the month. We urge you to attend whether you have issues to raise or not. We are quite happy to meet you just to say hello.
