A local resident has received a parking ticket for parking on the verge behind the double yellow lines in front of his house. Apparently the parking restriction applies not only to the roadway but also applies to the grass verges, the vehicle crossovers to drives, and the pavements. It seems residents cannot legally park on their access crossover at any time! 

The facts appear to be correct. Be warned !

There are many properties on Green Lane opposite Finham Park School who also have parking restrictions and may be unaware of the rules.

This was raised with councillors at the latest FRA committee meeting, and they will take it to the relveant council department for comment.

The local police have recommended www.immobilise.com to help recover stolen items

Immobilise is the world's largest FREE register of possession ownership details and together with its sister sites the Police's NMPR  and CheckMEND,  forms a very effective tool in helping to reduce crime and repatriate recovered personal property to its rightful owners.

Immobilise can be used by members of the public and businesses to register their valued possessions or company assets, and exclusive to Immobilise all account holders registered items and ownership details are viewable on the Police national property database the NMPR (www.thenmpr.com ).

This online checking service is used by all UK Police forces to trace owners of lost and stolen property. In addition Immobilise is checked daily by a huge range of recovery agencies and lost property offices including the Transport For London Lost Property Office.

Reports have been received regarding calls from a company selling burglar alarms and claiming to be working with police.  Although this particular firm is legitimate, their selling techniques often include hard selling and they are known to target the elderly.
As with any firm cold calling either at the front door or by telephone, our advice would be not to answer the door in the first instance and not to employ them.  If you are considering installing any security items, you can always contact this office by telephone on 76539088 or emailing me and ask to speak to one of our Crime Reduction Officers.
