December updates

Hi everyone, hope you had a good Christmas.

It's been a while since I last posted due to a busy work and home life so here are the latest updates I've received from the Home Watch Co-ordinator -

The first update relates to a Microsoft technical support scam that you might want to look out for. At least one resident on the estate has had this type of scam tried on them.  There is also information on a delivery scam to look out for.

I've attached a copy of the latest Trading Standards, ASU and CADNWA newsletters and details on signing up for Home Watch Alerts sent by Lancashire Police

Finally here's a link to an e mail I received about Dalton and Dalton who are claiming to be able to reduce your Council Tax banding for a fee (direct link here).

Have a good New Year

Updates and information for Wednesday

Hi all, there are quite a few posts today. The first is from Lancashire Council concerning email,  telephone and internet scams that you can read here and there's a couple of articles about metal theft here and here.

Lancashire Police are launching a messaging service to keep people updated on crime and policing issues in their local area. You can read more about it by clicking here.  There is also a copy of the latest in the know newsletter here.  If you're interested in attending the Chorley and District Neighbourhood Watch Assocation AGM you can find the details here and here.

I've also been asked by Shirley Dodd to let people know that questionnaires for the Village consultation have been hand delivered to every home in Croston. Please would you return them to the locations stated on the back of the questionnaire or you can now complete the questionnaire on line by visiting Save Croston Rec on facebook where there is a link to the online survey.

That's it for now,

Abby

Latest updates

Hi everyone. It's been a while since I posted mainly due to a shortage of updates coming through from the Police Home Watch Co-ordinator. But I've had some through this week reporting a scam operating in the Chorley area and cold calling in other parts of Lancashire so I'm posting the links and I hope they are of interest. There's also a copy of the last Air Support Group newsletter here.

There is also information about the CADNWA  AGM here, here and here!

Thanks to those of you who replied about helping with gritting, please check your email as I've written to you with some extra information. If you're interested in helping spread grit it's not too late to volunteer, please get in touch with me by posting a reply.

I've also sent a letter to the Parish Council on behalf of the estate thanking them for their donation towards the grit bin. You can read it by clicking here.

That's all I have for now, have a good weekend and keep warm!

PS, the grit bin has arrived and I'm now double checking with Miller Homes that they still own the land at the side of the road. They gave me permission in the summer to put the bin near to the entrance to the estate and once they reply I'll get it installed.
