Bellotts Road Litter
On a walk around in Westmoreland this morning I noticed how much litter that there was on Bellotts Road and how grimy the paths had started to look.
I have asked that the council have a good clean up of Bellotts Road and have suggested that a good brush up may help improve the area.

Stay Safe at Home
The Police remind us that particularly in this hot weather that we remember to close windows and secure doors at night or when out.
This is more important as offenders have gained entry through an insecure door or window in recent weeks.
Simple precautions can prevent incidents occurring so let's all try and be a bit more careful and mindful of leaving any properties unoccupied.
If you have information about any crime, phone the police on 101 or you can call anonymously to the independent charity CRIMESTOPPERS 0800 555 111.

Help at last to keep seagulls at bay.
A gel that dupes urban gulls into thinking that buildings are on fire is being trialled in Bath.
The gel emits an odour the gulls dislike and an ultraviolet light that is perceived as a fire by birds.

Fresh Opportunities for Volunteers
Royal Voluntary Service (formerly WRVS) are supporting Avon and Somerset Police by providing a dedicated personal telephone support service to people in their own homes. Royal Voluntary Service hopes to soon extend this to personal visits. The initiative enables trained and vetted volunteers to provide:
. A confidential listening ear
. A friendly caring voice at the end of the phone
. Regular pre-arranged calls
. Information about local support networks and services
. Access to other Royal Voluntary Service services
. Support to feel more confident in your own home
. Support to be independent and active in the community
Royal Voluntary Service welcomes members of Neighbourhood Watch to join them in providing support and befriending to those who need it. The premise of Neighbourhood Watch is about local people working together to create safe, attractive, friendly places to live. Royal Voluntary Service befriending initiative enables NHW members to get involved in reaching out to members of the community who feel isolated and sometimes vulnerable.
The service operates on a referral basis, so even if you aren't able to volunteer, you may know of people within your community who would benefit from the support that the Royal Voluntary Service can provide.
Further information about the Royal Voluntary Service and the services they provide can be found on their website www.royalvoluntaryservice.org.uk
For details about becoming a volunteer or to discuss making a referral, please contact Jenny Jenkins
