Cyber Crime Warning - Neighbourhood Watch
-15th May 2017

Following the ransomware cyber attack on Friday 12th May which affected the NHS and is believed to have affected other organisations globally, the City of London Police’s National Fraud Intelligence Bureau has issued an alert urging both individuals and businesses to follow protection advice immediately and in the coming days.

Ransomware is a form of malicious software (Malware) that enables cyber criminals to remotely lock down files on your computer or mobile device. Criminals will use ransomware to extort money from you (a ransom), before they restore access to your files. There are many ways that ransomware can infect your device, whether it be a link to a malicious website in an unsolicited email, or through a security vulnerability in a piece of software you use.

The National Cyber Security Centre’s technical guidance includes specific software patches to use that will prevent uninfected computers on your network from becoming infected with the ’WannaCry’ Ransomware:https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/guidance/ransomware-latest-ncsc-guidance

For additional in-depth technical guidance on how to protect your organisation from ransomware, details can be found here: https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/guidance/protecting-your-organisation-ransomware

Neighbourhood Watch — 999 or 101? (a reminder)
-24th April 2017

The following guidelines will help to ensure we contact the police in the most efficient way

Emergency Calls — 999
Should only be used where police attendance is required immediately such as when a crime is in progress or someone is at risk of attack

Local Police — 101
This number should be used for all other enquires including reporting crimes which have already happened (e.g. stolen car/ property damage), where there is no sign of an offender. Also, for general police information and advice

Meeting a police officer
If you wish to meet with a police officer you can call 101 and make an appointment at your local police station. Appointments are prioritised depending on the nature of the request. An appointment is necessary because stations are not always manned. Our local station is in the Rushcliffe Community Contact Centre at West Bridgford (Rectory Road, NG2 6BN)

Home visits are available if you're vulnerable and can't get to a police station.

The Scheduled Appointments Service frees up police officers' time, enabling them to resolve more incidents more quickly than they could if they travelled to see everyone who is a victim of crime.

Crimestoppers — 0800 555 111
If you wish to report a crime anonymously use this number

It’s very important to report crimes as otherwise rural communities may not be given the required level of resourcing they deserve.

East Bridgford U18 Giant Killers reach Cup Final
and will play at the City Ground on 9th May 2017 at 7pm Your village team needs your support!!!
-19th April 2017

I took the bold decision at the request of my son to resurrect the team which had played in the Newark League for 4 seasons from under 7 to Under 11. We have 8 East Bridgford players in our squad and I am proud to say they have done some major giant killing to reach the final of the Notts Youth Sunday under 18 League cup.

We will be playing Keyworth UTD black in the final and the match will take place at the City ground, home to Nottingham Forest.
This is a great achievement for the boys, for the East Bridgford football club and I believe for the village. They have represented the football club and the village with great respect and pride. I am so proud of the boys as is their Coach Mike Bradshaw and all of their parents

Keyworth UTD will have a large contingent at the match and we want to give the boys as much support as possible so please do come along to cheer them on and hopefully witness them bring home the silverware to the village We promise it will be a thrilling match as they are a fantastic team with tremendous spirit and skill.

Admission on the night is £5 for adults and £2 for OAPS and children.

Thank you for your support - wish us luck!

POLICE ADVICE: Important information for Audi,
BMW and Ford Focus ST owners.
-6th March 2017

There have been a number of house burglaries across Nottinghamshire where Audi, BMW and Ford Focus ST cars have been stolen whereby the keys were taken during the burglary.

Though other high value and performance cars have been stolen it is mainly newer Audi, BMW and Focus ST that have been the target.

In the past two weeks, there have been incidents: in West Bridgford, Orston and East Bridgford. Most occurred overnight between 8pm and 6am. We have dedicated teams investigating these types of crimes but vehicle owners must do what they can to reduce the possibility of becoming the next victim of car key burglary.

Police advice is to:-
• Park your car in a locked and alarmed garage overnight if possible
• Use your house burglar alarm including overnight as this would be a major deterrent to a burglar
• Don't leave your car and house keys in view or in an obvious place and consider keeping keys in separate places
• Burglars will often steal keys for all vehicles at the address and return for a second vehicle at a later time
• Be conscious of your home security and lock your doors even when you are at home as this will stop a walk-in offence whilst you are in another room
• Consider installing a tracker device as these are valuable in locating stolen vehicles
• Encourage family and neighbours to look out for suspicious people and vehicles and if you suspect something report it immediately via 999.

VILLAGE SHOW COMMITTEE MEMBERS WANTED!
-9th December 2016

As a number of the current village show committee members are due to step down after this year’s show, having been part of the team for several years, we urgently need new volunteers to work alongside them this year with a view to taking over for the 2018 show. The committee meets once a month to organise the annual show, which is always held on the last Saturday in June. Plans are already underway for this year’s show, but we really need new volunteers to shadow a number of key roles to ensure the continuation of the show in future years.

Please contact Rob Bendy on 07785 506757 if you would like to help.

AN APPEAL TO DOG WALKERS
- 11th November 2016

“Dogs are much loved pets and companions, and with responsible ownership, problems for the whole community can be avoided.”

This statement was included in an article in April, alerting dog owners to increased responsibilities under the law. It recognises how dogs are valued and loved by their owners, and why the owners fulfil a dog’s needs for exercise by taking it for walks.
In this article, the Parish Council is appealing to the dog owning community to make a concerted effort to finally end the on-going issue of dog excrement being left on Butt Close, and surrounding footpaths.

It cannot be right when parents and teachers report that children involved in activities on the field have been contaminated by dog excrement, nor when a children’s football coach says that his first task is to patrol the playing area to identify and clear up mess. Most dog walkers clear up after their dogs but we need everyone to do it, and we ask all dog owners to continually be vigilant and challenge others who do not. In the end, the Council has a duty of care for the health of people using Butt Close for the activities associated with it being a playing field. People refer to it as ‘the park’ but it is not a park - it is a playing field with public footpaths defined around the edge of it. If the problem persists, we would have no choice other than to introduce formal measures to ensure the enjoyment, and more importantly, the safety and well-being of the children and others using it. For the avoidance of doubt, the measures required would be either restricting dogs to the footpaths only (which also means they would have to be on leads all the time), or a blanket ban. So, please, if you want to avoid that, let’s all take responsibility for getting it sorted out once and for all.

Coun. Phil Clarke

19th Annual Sporting Challenge
- 27th July

A record number of teams took part in this year's Sporting Challenge on the eve of the Village Show - some familiar faces and plenty of new ones taking part for the first time. All 34 teams took part in trials set by the Tennis, Cricket, Bowls and Football clubs, with an extra golf event thrown in just for fun. Medals were awarded to the winning team for each sport, and the Richard Watkins trophy presented to the overall challenge winners, based on their average position in all five sports.

Congratulations to this year's winners who were first-timers Team Powell (David, Rachel, Jack and Charlotte Powell).

Dog Microchipping Legislation
- 6th April

From 6th April, 2016, a new law requiring owners
to have their dogs microchipped and recorded on an authorised database came into force. The big benefit is that if the dog is lost, then found and handed over to the police or RSPCA, it can be rapidly reunited with its owner.
However, from that date, it will also be an offence to own a dog which is not microchipped as above. Police and local authorities personnel will be able to carry devices which instantly read and check the chip. If there is not one present or not recorded, at first owners may be given a time window in which to get the work done. A £500 fine will apply if this is not done. Further advice is available from various sources, such as the link below:

http://www.pet-owners.co.uk/Expert-Advice/Legal-Advice/The-2016-Dog-Microchipping-Legislation.aspx
