ORLEY ews

driver) who lived in the village in a house owned by the

Houghs. They would remain married for over 60 years until

Winnie passed away at the age of 97 in 2004. Bill

unfortunately also lost his daughter in 2008. He now lives

with his son in law John, and regularly sees his grandchildren

Ian and Joanne, and his great-grandchildren, Nathan and

Jessica.

Outside work Bill was a keen sportsman – playing for one of

the two Norley football teams at the time; and was also a keen

tennis player. The village lawn tennis club started up on Bill’s

land in the early ‘30’s (Bill and Ewart Hough being founding

members) and in its heyday there would regularly be 20+

people waiting for a game of a summers evening, and so only

doubles were allowed so as to let everyone get a game.

As a key member of the tennis club he was also instrumental

in starting up the tennis amateur dramatics club (cited on the

programmes as Norley Lawn Tennis Club – Dramatic

Section). They put on 8 productions between 1932 and 1937 -

“The Middle Watch” (in which Bill played Marine Ogg) in

1932; “Tilly of Bloomsbury” in 1934 (in which he both acted

and was the Stage Manager); and “Lord Richard in the

Pantry” (Bill played Lord Richard) in 1937. These

productions were staged at the Temperance Hall (now the

Village Hall) and Bill helped make made much of the scenery

in the shippons of his old cottage.

Bill also gave a home to the Bowling club for many years

with a green and pavilion being constructed soon after the

war, although Bill was not a player himself.

Bill was also a keen supporter of Chester City football club

and made a regular trip to see their home games with Alf

Lewis. Bill never learnt to drive himself – although he did

ride motorbikes in his younger days. He does recount nearly

running over the test examiner on his motor bike test but

passing anyway! His only venture into driving on four wheels

resulted in almost tipping over a van and so was not allowed

behind the wheel again!

Although Bill is not as physical active as he once was, he now

enjoys exercising his mind with a daily dose of Sudoku

puzzles. He also still enjoys watching sports - in particular

tennis although maintains that the modern games lacks the

skills of the old.

Congratulations and a very Happy 100th Birthday!

Ian R

William (Bill) Thompson was born on the 11th October 1912

into a Norley family which has occupied or owned land in the

village since before 1750. He grew up living at Hawthorne

House – which at that time was an old cottage and

outbuildings right next to the road. He attended the old

Norley School leaving at the age of 14.

He then started work with Alf Lewis as an apprentice Joiner.

Alf Lewis’s father had taken over the business from Bill’s

grandmother. He worked for Lewis’s until 1939 and the start

of the war. As Bill was in a reserved occupation, he was sent

to undertake numerous civil engineering projects, and recalls

working on a reservoir near Frodsham, and at Delamere Park

building Nissen huts for the Polish camp.

He then joined the army in 1942, and served in The Royal

Electrical and Mechanical Engineers. His army service again

involved him in building bridges and the like, and he was

stationed in such places as Derby and Preston. Following the

end of the war Bill returned to his trade and worked for

Ilidges. At the time Ilidges had a contract with Greenall’s

Brewery and Bill can recount working at many of the pubs

around the county over the years. Towards the end of his

working life he worked for Fred Stubbs and retired at 65

years of age.

Once retired Bill concentrated on building a new house which

would replace the old cottage. The cottage and land had been

in his family since 1778. He started digging the foundations

behind the cottage in 1976 and the new house was completed

and the cottage demolished a few years later.

Bill married Winnie Hardman – also from Norley - in 1941,

and they had a daughter, Pam. He had known Winnie for a

long time (as everyone knew everyone in the village then) but

had got to know her better through his friend Ewart Hough.

She was working for a Mrs Longden (as a companion and

2 Norley News— October 2012

Norley’s Guiding Lights Local resident Isabel Mercer and two of her friends – many

thanks to all of them - share below some of their recollections

of Girl Guiding in Norley before and after the last war.

Isabel has lived in and around Norley for over 50 years. Her

going to Private school and college ended her own Guiding

career, but she has lots of nice memories. She went on to be a

keen tennis player (her mother had been a keen player too),

playing and making many friends at Frodsham and Helsby

Tennis Clubs, and at Norley’s own club, no longer with us.

She met her husband Bob through playing at Helsby, and she

went on to represent the county, through Frodsham Tennis

Club.

Although she has done many things, Isabel worked largely as

a secretary in local schools at Frodsham, Kingsley,

Weaverham, Weston Point and Manley, among others.

Sadly Isabel now suffers from immune system illness lupus.

While there is no cure the best medicine, Isabel says, is

“laughter and smiles”. Her daughter and two granddaughters

provide much of this medicine, as do her memories of her

Girl Guiding past.

Lillian recalls;

“ I joined the Guides in 1939. I walked a mile each way to

the Norley Parish Room where we had our meetings. We

were put into patrols. One girl was chosen as our leader. We

learned to tie knots and lots of other things. At the end of

our meeting we would stand and sing;

Day is done

Gone the sun

From the sea, from the sky

All is well, safely rest

God is nigh.

I remember we held a jumble sale in the Parish Room to

raise money. We put on concerts in the Temperance Hall,

and held dances in the old Norley School, where we

sprinkled talc on the floor, to make it better to dance on.

The band consisted of three local men.

Sometimes Girl Guides would come from Liverpool to

camp in the forest. We were invited to their campfire to sing

our songs and have a cup of cocoa.

In 1949, we went to camp at Whitley. We left Norley on the

back of Mr Lewis’ wagon. We were joining Cotebrook

Guides who had already arrived and got the tents up and the

fire going. We gathered wood, walked down the lane to get

milk, and ordered food from a little shop nearby.

Some mothers came to visit on the Wednesday, and on

Thursday afternoon we had our treat, going in to

Warrington by bus, for tea at Carter’s café in Bridge Street

– sandwiches and jam and cream scones.

I enjoyed my time in the Girl Guides very much.”

Joan says;

“ I joined Norley Girl Guides in May 1946. The four

patrols were named after birds – mine was called the

days were over!“

While Isabel herself recalls;

“I joined the Guides about 1939/40. Our captain was

Cathleen Weldon. A lady called Lillian worked with her.

We were proud of our uniforms and badges (though I lost

mine at home!). We were in four teams – I was a Swallow.

There is a photo of us marching up Maddocks Hill from

Crowton, taking our flag to church for Remembrance Sunday.

I got to carry the flag sometimes. We also walked to Norley

church - the Scouts walked behind us. I walked part way up

the Church tower once, high enough to semaphore to other

guides at the School for help to get down!

In 1945 we went camping at Heswall, We were having a great

time putting the tents up and so on, until the wind and rain

came, and we had to move into a farmer’s building.

There are lots of memories; we did a Christmas play at the

Temperance Hall, “The Little Fir Tree”. Lots of rehearsals

and a few tears, but on the night it was wonderful, with a full

hall. I remember a few of us climbing Kinder Scout on a

cold windy day. We were very proud to get to the top!”

Jon

Swallows. Our leaders were Marion Greatbanks and Hilda

Walker.

I loved every minute of Guiding – from the songs we sang to

doing our “badges” – such as cooking, home making and first

aid. I still have my uniform with the badges on the sleeve.

We joined many village parades, such as the one on

Remembrance Sunday.

After two or three years I became Swallows patrol leader. My

first camp was at Rhos-Colyn on Holyhead Island. Our

campsite was just a field: a long way to carry water. We

cooked on two open campfires, with the loo a hole in the

ground.

The next two years we went to Arnside, which was a lot more

modern, with better cooking and toilet facilities and a

building, which we slept in some of the time, because it was

so wet.

Friday night was Guides night at the Parish Room. One night

in 1952 we met as usual, and were told we were too old to be

Guides. We were invited to join the Rangers, but as they met

in Frodsham and we had no way of getting there, our guiding

Dear Editor, We are concerned about the increasing amount of dog dirt

around the village.

Living in Foresters Close where there is limited pavement,

we have taught our children to walk on verges and close to

the walls when walking opposite the shop, pub and other

unpaved areas on their way to school. On the first day of

term, I was alarmed by the large amounts of dog faeces on

public rights of way. It was on verges in Foresters Close

and School Bank, opposite the shop,on the green space

outside the pub and unbelievably, outside of the school!

This has the effect of forcing the children and parents on to

the road and becoming vulnerable to the frequently

speeding traffic around the blind bend by the shop. (an issue

in itself!)

Anyone who has ever had to remove dog dirt from a child’s

shoes or the wheels of a buggy will know just how

disgusting and unpleasant it can be, especially if it gets onto

floors and carpets in homes and the school. No matter how

lovely your dog is, it’s facades is not! It is highly toxic, with

up to 23 million coliform bacteria in one gram, it can cause

stomach upsets, and sickness and diahorrea which can lead

to problems with kidneys and eye sight. These individuals

need to mindful of the real risk to children’s health. Failure

to pick it up is more than just thoughtless, rather socially

and morally unacceptable.

Today, when picking our children up from school, my

husband spotted a girl with brown hair tied in a ponytail

aged about fifteen walking a shaggy cream dog outside the

school at about 4.30 pm. She allowed the dog to foul the

verge where the children walk on their way into and home

from school every day and walked off. When challenged

she claimed she intended to pick it up on the way back as

their were no bins, despite there being one outside the

school and walked off! While we know that most of the dog

owners in the village are highly responsible, we would urge

the few who are not to be mindful of how this disgusting

practise effects others. We also ask the parents of teenage

dog walkers to be responsible for making sure their dog

mess is always picked up.

Allowing a dog to foul is illegal and liable to a £1000

fine, as is littering by people who dump poop bags in

hedges, hang them from branches or just leave them at the

side of the road where they can split or be picked up by

children. There is no dog poo fairy to tidy it up!!!

If the problem continues, we would urge anyone who

knows who is responsible to call the Cheshire West helpline

and report the culprits so that they can be fined for their anti

social behaviour.

67. Affordable Housing

(i) Chairman allowed open questions and discussion

concerning Affordable Housing.

(ii) Councillor Greenacre sent a letter concerning

Affordable housing which was read aloud for the benefit of

members:-

I’m sorry to miss the meeting tonight – I have a long-

standing work commitment. I’m also sorry that I didn’t

make the July meeting – coming back so soon after the

Open Morning seemed a bit much, although I would have

done if I’d anticipated the level of objection at the meeting.

It will come as no surprise to you that I was very

disappointed at the decision to bump the affordable housing

project into the Neighbourhood Plan, although I do

understand the overwhelming pressure. We discussed the

option of considering affordable housing as part of the

Neighbourhood Plan many times and decided against it

because of the long timelines. The late reversal of that

decision means that a lot of time has been wasted and we

have likely lost the opportunity to influence the process. We

had already begun to discuss ideas for expanding the public

consultation and improving communication during the

Open Morning post-mortem, so it does seem like the

decision has thrown the baby out with the bath water.

Moving forward, I think we need to consider what direction

the Parish Council should take. Do we think we have the

time and capacity to take on large projects like affordable

housing? Or should we stick to smaller, less controversial

projects? Whatever the decision, I think we need a plan for

the remainder of our term of office that we commit to.

There is no point in starting projects if decisions are going

to be constantly revisited. At the moment, we are just

bumbling along. There’s not necessarily anything wrong

with that, it’s what a lot of Parish Councils do, but it is

were approved subject to the following amendments:-

Clerk asked to provide name of Councillor who proposed the

motion at Minute number 53 stating that this was first &

seconded. Clerk asked to make the decision of the Council at the last

paragraph of minute Number 53 clearer. This paragraph now

reads:- Councillor Ford proposed that the Parish Council postpone

the current consultation immediately, to wait the outcome

from the planning application at the Haulage Yard. If and

when these affordable houses have been built and occupied,

for a further needs survey to then be completed, to determine

whether any affordable housing need remained in the village,

and that any future Affordable Housing Project in the village,

to be managed as part of Norley Neighbourhood Plan. This

was proposal was first and seconded and carried by the

Council.

65. Approval of Minutes of Norley Parish Council Affordable

Housing Committee Meeting 28/06/12

These minutes were not approved by the Council as there

were not sufficient members of the Affordable Housing

Committee in attendance, to approve these. Clerk instructed

to include this as an agenda item at the next meeting of the

Parish Council.

66. Matters arising from the minutes of Norley Parish Council

Meeting 24/07/12.

(i) Bruce Lane has requested information before the Walking

Group can decide whether they are able to walk the footpaths

in the village. Clerk instructed to obtain relevant maps and

inform him that the footpaths do cover approximately 20

miles, but that these do not need to be walked all at once, but

spread out throughout the year. Norley Parish Council thinks

that Norley Footpath Society has now been dispanded to their

knowledge.

(ii) Clerk will take the cleaning of the road signs forward.

(iii) Clerk is waiting for Cheshire West and Chester to reply


certainly different to the aspirations expressed when we took

office.

(iii) Councillor Taylor & Councillor Wild suggested that the

Council agrees objectives of what the Parish Council hope to

achieve to allow this to be measured.

(iv) Chairman updated members of the Haulage Yard

Application explaining, that CWAC were waiting the 106

agreement to be formulated before they could make a

decision on this application. Once this agreement is signed it

is expected that the application will be approved.

68. Norley Neighbourhood Plan.

Consultation questionnaire has been issued to all properties in

the village. Councillor Davidson provided an update on the

responses to date. The closing date set for this consultation

has been extended, Councillor Davison to agree an exact date

for the closure of the consultation with the Neighbourhood

Plan Committee, at their next meeting and advertise this to

parishioners via Norley News. Further information will

follow once the consultation has been closed and evaluated.

69. Code of Conduct.

Norley Parish Council voted to adopt the Code of Conduct

adopted by CWAC on 26/07/12. All members issued with a

copy of this Code of Conduct and an email from Jackie

Weaver, instructing them of their responsibilities and the

procedure to follow. Clerk informed members that they

needed to return their Register of Interest form within 28 days

of 05/09/12.

70. Planning Applications

12/03221/FUL First Floor Extension Forest Ridge Cottage

The Village of Norley 2012 Responses to Questionnaire sent to all Households

A survey of the households of Norley parish was

undertaken during July and August 2012, and at the Norley

Garden Show on September 1st. The survey sought to

obtain the views of villagers on the existing village, their

concerns for the future and what changes to the village they

would most like to see.

Up to mid September 80 questionnaires were completed and

returned from a total of 494 sent to all residences. More

returns are expected, but these results have been reviewed

by the Neighbourhood Plan Steering Committee and are

described below:

Summary

Likes: The majority of replies liked the rural setting of

Norley with its quiet and green characteristics. It is

considered un-crowded with plenty of open green space.

The amenities of shop and pubs are seen as key attributes of

the village. The friendly attitude of residents and the strong

community spirit is considered a major asset.

Concerns: The over-riding major concern was of

inappropriate house developments either having occurred or

likely to occur in the future. Vehicle speeding, particularly

along High Street, but also at other locations has been

identified as a serious problem.

Changes Sought: The need for and introduction of limited

affordable housing, but not as an estate, is recognised.

Linked to this is the use of existing buildings / infill plots to

create more smaller properties. An improved bus/public

transport service is seen as a requirement. An improved

broadband facility is also required. continued on page 15

Rene’s café came to life in Norley Village Hall on Saturday October 13th as a fundraising Allo Allo night got underway. There was a full house as all 80 tickets had been snapped up. The whole audience got into the spirit of the evening, with many people arriving in fancy dress – complete with berets, silk scarves, stripy tops and garlic garlands hung round necks. Audience participation continued as John Davidson, Chairman of Norley Parish Council and fellow Norley man, David Snow were both selected from the crowd for roles as the English airmen hiding under the bed. This saw them in ladies frocks and wigs for the rest of the evening. “There are great characters and risqué humour, and it goes down very well in a setting like Norley Village Hall,” said Arnold Ashbrook, who played the role of Leclerc. “I think the evening was great. It was the ideal place as you’ve got the banter from the audience, which you need for something like that – banter makes it even funnier. “It works best in a small venue where it really feels like you are in a café and everybody is so close that they feel they can get involved,” Arnold added. Laura Williams, from Hatchmere, who played Yvette, said “From our point of view it was the best one we have ever done. The audience was amazing.” Laura’s son, James Williams, who is 16 years old and currently in the sixth form at Sir John Dean’s College, shone in the effeminate role of Gruber with utterly convincing hip wiggling and lusty looks. “But the campness was pure showmanship. He’s very good,” said Arnold. James has played the role several times and admits that perfecting the camp mannerisms took time. “It’s got more natural the more I’ve done it, and got more comfortable with it,” he said. Initially, James had to be ‘bribed’ by his mother to give drama a go, but now he loves it and is doing more and more, with several comedy roles under his belt now. And to the audience’s delight, Phil Murray was more than ‘just pissing by’ in his role as Officer Crabtree, as he ensured everyone had a good evening thanks to his ‘good

moaning.’ Howls of laughter ensued right to the final moments of the evening, when, Neil Silcock, playing the straight laced Herr Flick, shed his full length trench coat to reveal he was sporting some rather racy ladies’ lingerie underneath, complete with suspenders. The Kingsley Players are seasoned pros at putting on Allo Allo nights, having first done them two or three years ago, after having written to the original author and gained permission to put the show on. Bringing the show to Norley was the brainwave of Noreen Ashbrook, who unfortunately, due to illness was unable to attend on the night. She was inspired by her connection with the Kingsley Players through her husband Arnold Ashbrook, who acts and writes plays and musicals for the drama group. “The Kingsley Players have done a touring production of Allo Allo in several towns around the Cheshire area,” said Jon Wild, Chairman of the Norley Village Hall Committee. “Quite a lot of work was involved in putting on the evening in Norley. As well as all the organising by the members of the village hall committee, the Kingsley Players themselves put in a lot of work on the day. Stephné Douglas (with help from her mum) led efforts on the catering, and all of the Committee worked really hard all evening - looking resplendent dressed as French maids! Some young people from the village also helped us out a lot – thanks to George, Phillippa and Maddie. “I think it was superb. I’ve had a lot of good feedback from villagers who say it was one of the best nights we’ve organised. “We haven’t yet got a final figure, but we do know it raised a good amount of money for the village hall,” Jon added. The Kingsley Players’ will be putting on a musical production of The Amazing Mr Scrooge, based on A Christmas Carol from 5th to 8th December. To buy tickets visit www.kingsleyplayers.co.uk

There were many other issues raised but, to date, are not

popularly supported.

Details:

The responses on the survey form have been categorised

under the headings environment, property, commercial,

infrastructure, social and community, and other, to enable

the Steering Committee to address the responses in more

detail. Because the questions asked were ‘open’ there has

been a wide spread of responses. Generally people limited

their replies to three "Likes"' three "Concerns"' and two or

three "Preferred Changes". However, certain issues repeat

across many responses and these are summarised below.

Percentages referring to a particular topic are the number of

questionnaire returns which specify that topic, as a

percentage of the total number of questionnaires returned

(80). Where a particular topic has less than 15%

“support” (ie less than 12 responses) it is not reported here.

Likes

Environment

The majority of replies [80%] liked the rural setting of

Norley with its variety of wildlife and proximity to

Delamere Forest

The small and spreadout nature of Norley with plenty of

open green spaces amongst the builtup areas is valued

[30%].

A significant number [35%] valued the quiet and tranquil

nature of Norley after taking account of a very small

number of concerns about Noise.

Commercial

The amenities of shop, pubs and (to a lesser extent),

restaurant, are seen as key attributes of the village [51%].

Infrastructure

Good road connections to major cities and towns is

appreciated [16%].

Social and Community

The friendly attitude of residents and the strong community

spirit is considered a major asset [40%].

The existence of a villlage school is valued [20%].

Concerns

Property

The over-riding major concern was of inappropriate house

developments either having occurred or likely to occur in

the future [85%]. This was expressed in three main ways:

Large replacement dwellings out of character [26%].

Future Estate development / large over –expansion [26%].

Inappropriate development (no further explanation given)

and Greenbelt development [33%].

Infrastructure

Vehicle speeding, particularly along High Street, but also at

other locations has been identified as a serious problem

[20%].

Changes Sought

Property

The need for and introduction of limited affordable housing,

but not as an estate, is recognised. Linked to this is the

use of existing buildings / infill plots to create more

smaller properties [40%].

Infrastructure

An improved bus/public transport service is seen as a

requirement, both in frequency and operating periods

[23%].

Continued from page 10


Slow broadband is a concern and an improved broadband

facility is required [20%].

Improvements to traffic management / control speeding are

wanted in various locations [18%] .

There were many other issues and ideas raised but, to date,

are not yet popularly supported. There were also many offers

of help which are gratefully received, and all of these will be

followed up.

Further consultations with village organisations are planned

so as to expand the number of responses and help us to

produce a Baseline Report which we are aiming to complete

early next year. This will be shared with the community and

we hope will form the first stage in a three stage process for

producing an agreed Neighbourhood Plan for the next 20

years.

Class 3 visit the

Grosvenor Museum in

Chester. On Thursday 27th September Class 3

went on a Federated visit with

Kingsley St John School to the

Grosvenor Museum in Chester.

Our first task was to draw some of the Roman gravestones

before doing a Roman quiz in one of the galleries.

Next we did three workshops, one as archaeologists looking

at stones, bones and pottery. One looking at the kinds of

food the Romans would have eaten and one about the

Roman baths.

We were then shown some of the armour that a Roman

soldier would have worn and Nathan and Alfie-Joe were

dressed as soldiers.

After lunch we were introduced to a Roman soldier, who

dressed us in armour and took us on a walking tour of

Chester. He showed us the remains of some Roman baths

and explained about the Gladiators fighting in the

Amphitheatre. Walking back to the museum we were

allowed to shout out “Sin, sin, sin, dec, sin.” which means

“Left, left, left, right, left.” in Latin.

We had a very busy day and we learnt a lot more about the

Romans.

Here are some of the children’s comments.

“In the workshop we found out how the Romans got their

heating in the pools.”

“In my group we made mosaics with colourful tiles.”

“We went to the kitchen area and did some grinding of

spices.”

“Some people dressed up as slaves and did the chores.”

“I liked the Roman soldier because he let us shout and we

nearly gave the teachers a headache!”

Rugby On Wednesday 3rd October we went to go and compete in a

TAG rugby competition at Helsby Rugby Club. Our first

match was against Hillside. The next match we played was

against Weavervale B. Then we played Alvanley and that

was the semi final so we had to win and we did just that as

we had won all of the previous matches. The final was

against Hillside so the pressure was on us. It was a very

close match but we won the match 6-5. So we won the

golden TROPHY! Again. We are through to the next round

of the competition at Whitby Social Club next Thursday.

Macmillan Coffee Afternoon On Friday the 29th of September, we had a Coffee afternoon

for Macmillan Cancer Support. We all brought in cakes, tea,

coffee, old books and flowers to make the afternoon

complete. Class four had a job each to make the afternoon

as amazing as last year. Abi and Imogen made tea and

coffee, Charlotte and Sandy served the cakes, Lily and

Lauren washed the dishes, Dawid gave out plates, Dan

collected donations and all the year fives socialised and

made sure everyone was comfortable. All together .the

Macmillan coffee afternoon was a great success, as we

raised £180!

We hope that next year will be as successful as this year!

Thank you very much for your help and support.

ADVANCE NOTICE


householder, working in their garden was distracted by a

male talking to him whilst an accomplice burgled the house

via an insecure door. The offenders are believed to have

been in a BMW vehicle. If you can assist in identifying this

vehicle, please contact the police. During the same

afternoon, in Townfield Lane, Farndon, an occupant was

working in her garden between 2pm and 3.30, leaving her

front door ajar. She later discovered that someone had

sneaked in and burgled the house.

As always, so many offences are opportunistic in nature.

Please ensure that you keep ALL doors locked at all times

and that shed and garage locks & hinges are up to the job.

A number of metal drain covers have been stolen,

particularly around the Frodsham and Helsby areas. Also,

electricity cables have been stolen from poles and lead

taken from the Church Hall roof in the Elton area. All these

offences are clearly for ‘scrap’ metal and obviously have a

major impact on public safety. These are not victimless

crimes – the utility companies have to repair the resulting

damage at a cost far in excess of the value of any metal

taken, and these costs are obviously passed on to the

customer – you and me! Offenders will often try to portray

themselves as workmen – please pay attention to any

activity around any such locations – genuine workmen will

usually be clearly identifiable from a well known company

and will have all necessary safety equipment. Offenders

may have a van and high-vis jackets, but will rarely utilise

any safety equipment! Please phone in any suspicious

activity as soon as you see it. Genuine workmen will be

only too pleased about any police attention.

We have had a burglary reported from Church Close,

Frodsham, where offenders have forced a rear window

overnight and stolen a variety of jewellery, cash and

electrical items. The opportunities for offenders will only

increase as the nights draw in and the autumn gales disguise

the sound of prowlers. Please ensure that all locks and

frames are strong and in a good state of repair.

On Monday 17/9/12, a resident of Chester Road, Delamere

saw a silver van, partial registration NC08_ _ _ with ladders

on the roof, drive slowly up her driveway. On seeing the

resident, the van immediately drove off at speed. This was

an isolated rural location, and it is doubtless that the

occupants of the van were up to no good. If you have seen a

similar van, or can assist with the full registration, please

contact the police, as we are very keen to find out what the

van was doing there and ascertain if it may have been

involved in any other offences in the area.

Also overnight on 21/9/12, but this time up in Park Lane,

Frodsham, two houses were burgled by gaining entry

through the rear door. Computer equipment and jewellery

was stolen. Please ensure that all door and window frames

are strong and well fitting, and that locks conform to BS

safety standards – these standards are set because they offer

a good level of security. Inferior locks tend to be weak or do

not protrude sufficiently into the frame, so are easily forced.

Overnight on 29/9/12, a house in Kelsbarrow Way, Kelsall

was broken into. The offenders attempted to gain entry

through the back door, before finally managing to force the

front door. This was clearly a determined effort, and

reinforces the earlier advice about ensuring that all locks

and frames are in good condition.

The first in Oct Sunday into Monday, an address in Ellis

Lane, Frodsham had its shed broken into. A number of

bikes were moved out of the way in order to steal a more

valuable bike! It is quite possible that the offender had seen

the bike being put away and so knew its location. If you

have expensive bikes or other valuable property in your

shed, please make sure that the shed has appropriate

security in place for the value of the contents!

My most common message over recent weeks, is that most

thefts are opportunistic in nature and would be prevented by

sensible precautions and even a modest degree of security

measures!

Please avoid becoming a victim by carrying out a quick

review of your normal security measures.
