We have had several complaints about parking please adhere to the correct procedure for dropping your children off, give ample time to park away from the school. We will be out issuing fixed penalty notices to drivers who ignore this. If you think a £30 fixed penalty is bad then what would you feel causing the death of a child due to your inconsiderate parking?

Have you left your bag, phone or any other property on display? Police on patrol are checking that vehicles aren’t an easy target for thieves. Protect your property Please make sure your windows are closed and the doors are locked whenever you leave your vehicle. Never leave any items on display.
Register your property to improve your chances of it being returned in the event of a theft.

Neighbour disputes We would all like to live in peace with our neighbours, but unfortunately that is sometimes not how things work out. Here's what you can do if you are having problems. Unless a crime has been committed or someone is in immediate danger, the police are unlikely to intervene in neighbour disputes. However we'll put you in touch with the groups and organisations who can help.
Examples:
I'm having a dispute with a neighbour about our property boundaries.
If you can't find an amicable solution with your neighbour, we suggest seeking the advice of a solicitor to resolve this. You could also contact your bank, building society, or whoever holds your deeds, to confirm the boundaries.
The following resources may also be of use:
• The Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) www.rics.org • The Land Registry www.gov.uk
I'm having a dispute with a neighbour about their CCTV camera pointing at my property
Many people are installing closed circuit television (CCTV) as a home security measure as it has proved to be an effective tool in fighting crime. Cameras used for limited household purposes are not subject to the Data Protection Act 1998.
However, if the footage covers areas beyond this, such as neighbouring streets or other properties, problems may arise. There could be issues regarding privacy and harassment if you are being recorded in your home.
In the first instance, speak to your neighbour to see if it's possible to reposition the camera so that it does not point at your property. If this is not successful, and you want to take further action, we recommend seeking legal advice from a solicitor. 10
