I could not have done this a couple of times during refurbishment) we had it without massive help and assistance from Suzy, organised. It was touch and go whether it would Natalie, Michaela and all those who contributed be inside or outside but, in the end, we opted for raffle prizes – and of course everyone who braved outside.

For reporting crime, call 101 or go to the Hampshire police website www.hampshire.police.uk. Community Priorities The current neighbourhood priority is Burglary. A residential property in Cannon Heath, Overton, was broken into during daylight hours and jewellery was stolen. An electric bike was stolen from a garage in Ecchinswell. Some facts about burglaries (sources in brackets). Most burglaries take place between 10am and 3pm. (Safestyle UK) The average burglary lasts for eight minutes. (Dr Claire Nee, Unviersity of Portsmouth) Many burglaries are ‘spur of the moment’ decisions by a burglar who notices an open door, open window, valuables on display or some other weakness. (Thames Valley Police) The vast majority of burglars will want to avoid meeting the home’s occupants at any cost. (The Independent) A burglar may typically examine many houses before finding one that looks like an easy one to steal from. Homes with no security measures in place are five times more likely to be burgled than those with simple security measures. Good window locks and strong deadlocks can make a big difference. In most burglaries, the criminals broke into the house or flat through the door, either by forcing the lock or kicking it in.

  • General Election Report Agent and Candidate AGENTS REPORT
    General Election report Agent and Candidate AGENTS REPORT Kim Taylor as General Election Agent. This is my first report as an Agent, and may well be my only report as I volunteered to be election agent for the General Election Only. The Agents prime function is to ensure that · The candidates nomination papers are correctly completed and filed on time · All campaign literature/communications is legally compliant · All expenditure is controlled and compliant · Have oversight of donations and ensure all are compliant · File election expense accounts on time with authorities The agent has legal responsibilities for this and noncompliance results in personal criminal conviction and significant fines. Historically in Basingstoke the Agent as also controlled all campaign activity acting as campaign manager and also written and produced all campaign leaflets, adverts etc. I did not feel this high-level command and control approach was appropriate for a snap election and that we needed to adopt a more team approach and cascade campaigning activities. This would also be an important approach to test in view of the forthcoming all out election which would affect every ward and resources would be stretched thin. A team approach was adopted with Paula Wibrew and Stephanie Grant acted as Campaign Managers on the ground and Martin Heath as Social Media Campaign manager and Andrew McCormick ensuring donation were received and processed legally. It was the intention that for every ward this would be cascaded down further with each ward nominating a Campaign Co-ordinator from existing candidates/councillors to coordinate the activities in their ward such as the management of volunteers, delivering leaflets, canvasing and the Polling day activities.
