We will have a stall at the Grove Road street party on Sunday 11th from 12:00-16:30 with our usual crime prevention items (sold at cost). Items such as RFID car key wallets, window alarms and Patlocks will all support in securing your home. Please pop by or if you cannot make it, drop me an email for further information.

Crime prevention and issues to be aware of

There has been reports and general concerns around the behaviour of dogs/owners in Burbage recently. Please ensure you are considerate of other pedestrians and dog walkers. This will help reduce risk to other dogs and yourself. Whilst we appreciate most owners are responsible, we are seeing many incidents involving dogs (crime reports, social media posts and direct contact to local officers). If you have concerns around dangerous dogs or dog incidents, it can be reported via this link Controlling your dog in public: Report a dog - GOV.UK

Thank you and take care.
