NHW Data Tag Packs
Wymeswold Village Neighbourhood Watch have kindly been offered 200 free Datatag kits which are used to mark property such as electrical items (TV’s, camera, computers, laptops, tablets, smart phones, etc), furniture and other items of value such as family heirlooms.
The system makes use of microdots placed on the items of interest and are added by you – no one comes into your property. The items are then registered online to Datatag’s database so that should you be unfortunate to experience a burglary there is an increased chance that items recovered will be returned to you. The scheme includes signage stating that your property is security marked. The company will also provide street signage to accompany the village neighbourhood area watch signs thereby acting as a wider visible deterrent. There is no annual subscription fee (unlike other schemes) and the information is stored securely – this system has police approval. If you are interested in a kit then please get in touch with Garry Boorman via garryandangie26@gmail.com.
Burton Lane Playing Field and Washdyke
The Parish Council is receiving an increasing amount of reports of dog fouling on the playing field and Washdyke. Please remember that the areas are for playing sport, children’s play and a community orchard. The Parish Council is working with Charnwood Borough Council to introduce measures to stop dog fouling. Security cameras will be mounted on the sports pavilion to help deter offenders. If the problem persists the Parish Council will have no choice but to ban dogs from the area.
