Christmas is almost upon us once again and the village Christmas tree provided by donations received last Christmas, will be put in place and decorated during the first week in December. During the year we also purchased a new flag of St. George for St Mary’s Church, we have given a donation towards the sighting of the seat to commemorate the Olympic Torch coming through Wrawby, we provided Easter treats for the Tuesday Village Lunch, and there will be extras for the Christmas Lunch. This is how your donations received last Christmas have been spent in the village. This year Father Christmas will be visiting Wrawby on Sunday 23rd December to meet you all and find out what you would like for Christmas. He will begin his journey at approximately 4.30pm from the eastern end of Melton Road, continuing to Millview Gardens, Kettleby Lane, Applefields, Frankland Close, Vicarage Gardens, Markham Way, Chapel Lane, Tunnel Road, Bakersfield, Barton Road, and back up Brigg Road. On behalf of the Neighbourhood Watch Team, may I wish you all a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Peaceful New Year.

These last three incidents involved two entirely separate attempted thefts of a concrete trough and of a trailer together with an aborted theft of lead, once again from the Church roof. Most of the lead was found in a neighbouring field, but water damage has occurred inside the church. A high proportion of the work of Neighbourhood Police Teams relate to public and individual needs and concerns that are not directly crime related. A good number of these prove to be unfounded but people's suspicions and concerns are legitimate and the police once again ask that anything suspicious, however minor, is reported. The police have advised council that there is once again an increase in metal thefts, particularly from elec- tricity equipment. Not only is this mindless vandalism, it is also very dangerous - please do not touch ex- posed cables as they may still be live. It is vital that children, pets and livestock are kept away from any damaged or exposed equipment. Planters Residents will have noticed that the beds made for the Queen's Jubilee have now been re-planted with conifers and winter pansies.
