Following the security advice below even when at home outside in the garden is always good practice. Most victims of burglary are concerned that they have been specifically targeted or watched for a period of time prior to their burglary, to determine what their movements are. However, most burglaries are opportunistic. Burglars choose houses that: have little or no obvious security appear unoccupied have easy, unobserved access to the side and rear provide them with the chance to gain entry without being seen or heard So it is possible to dramatically reduce burglaries by taking simple security measures to deter burglars and remove some of the opportunities that present themselves as easy targets. A few simple security measures can increase the visual deterrent and reduce the likelihood of garages and sheds being targeted. Garage side or rear doors can be secured with British Standard 5-lever mortice locks and two internal mortice rack bolts, one towards the top and one towards the bottom to reduce the leverage points Shed doors can be secured with two substantial hasps and staples and two closed shackle padlocks on the outside, one towards the top and one towards the bottom.

  • (Signed) Urgent Decision 19 February 2021 , Item 1. PDF 424 KB
    Page 1 of 4 Agenda Item 1 Portfolio Holder Decision – Submission of a Bid Application to the DfT Rural Mobility Fund Portfolio Holder Portfolio Holder for Transport and Planning Date of decision 19 February 2021 Signed Decision taken That the Portfolio Holder for Transport & Planning gives approval for officers to submit a bid application for external funding to the Department for Transport’s Rural Mobility Fund for the sum of £1.020million. Reasons for decisions The submission of bids for external funding must be signed off by the relevant WCC Cabinet Portfolio Holder. Background information In September 2019, the Government announced details regarding a £220million programme of commitments in 2020-21 towards transforming bus services in England, including a National Bus Strategy. Subsequently, in February 2020, the Department for Transport (DfT) invited local authorities to submit Expressions of Interest (EOI) regarding a £20million Rural Mobility Fund to assess the benefits of on-demand services to improve existing bus provision in rural and suburban areas. The DfT expects much of the fund to be awarded in chunks of between £0.5-£1.5million. In June 2020, County Council officers submitted an EOI focused on a new demand responsive transport service serving residents in rural settlements situated to the west of the Warwick urban area and parts of Kenilworth. This represents a population below 10,000 residents in accordance with the DfT eligibility criteria, including Beausale, Budbrooke, Haseley, Hatton and Leek Wootton. The proposed new service would operate on Mondays to Saturdays between 0600 – 1930 and replace part of the conventional Service 16 bus service between Warwick – Kenilworth.

INTRODUCTION. I. THE FOUNDERS OF WARWICKSHIRE BELLS. 1 ; : Purchased from ebay store retromedia THE CHURCH BELLS OF WARWICKSHIRE. It is possible to classify these 1,050 bells in another manner, according to age, as follows Pre-Reformation (anterior to 1550) ... ... .•• 46\.t. Other ancient bells but uninscribed ... ... ... 12J-' " Transitional period " (1550— 1600) ... ... ... i"] Seventeenth century ... ... •• -• • 255 Eighteenth'8 centur\- -/- Nineteenth century and later ... ... ... 416 Bells of uncertain date or uninscribed ... ... ... 13 Total 105 The number of Pre-Reformation bells is therefore 58,1 a surprisingly small proportion, even when compared with neighbouring counties such as Worcestershire (about the same number out of gio) or Staffordshire (40 ancient out of 1,200). The percentage is almost exactly 5^ per cent., as against 8 per cent, in Leicestershire and 6 per cent, in Worcestershire Northants has rather over 5 per cent, of old bells, and Staffordshire only about 3J per cent. If, however, we reckon in the 37 " Transitional bells," this percentage is largely increased, rising to about 9 per cent. In the adjoining counties of Leicester and Northants the same conditions obtain, due there as here to the remarkable activity of the founders at Leicester and Nottingham during the reign of Queen Elizabeth.
