You cannot have failed to read in the papers or seen reports on the television that there has been a staggering increase in the number of metal thefts in the last year.

You can sign the petition ...

Hello all

We've received the notice, copied below, regarding a DPPO to give the police powers to stop people drinking (alcohol!) in the designated area. This has all been pretty well publicised, so isn't news as such, but be aware that the coverage of the proposed DPPO is much samller than originally discussed and no longer covers the West End.

Many of you will have noticed the cones down Long Leys covering missing drain covers. Apparently they have been stolen and the theft of metal is now a national problem. A local guy has already been biking along, not noticed and gone over his handlebrs and broken his nose. If there had been traffic it could have been a whole lot worse.
