Interactionon the radio

attracts moreloyal

listeners toViva!

It’s been pretty hectic over Christmas and New Year where I’ve been pre-recordingshows (for Christmas day, New Year’s day and holiday Monday) and alsoperforming live broadcasts during our test transmissions.

It seems that my idea of having regular music competitions has attracted a fantasticloyal following. I will keep these going as they are great fun to make up and play.

We’ve also built a new chat room for the listeners at www.vivachat.co.uk.

The Viva! programme goes out on Monday evenings at 7pm with ‘Old, Gold ‘n’ Rare’music so, something different than you’d hear on other stations.

Advertisers can have their own radio commercial at no charge while we’re in testingmode so, book your advert today and we’ll see you online to join in the fun.

Spotlight On! Get The Fog OutDave New has been running his own windowcompany for the last 20 years, but hasrecently found himself replacing brokendown double glazing units more often thanever.

Father And Son Go Green WithAmazing New Process For Poole

Residents

After one evening of browsing the Internet,he found a new method which enables therepair of these 'foggy' windows instead ofdoing the initial replacing. The bonus of thisnew method is that it is easier, cheaper anda lot more environmentally friendly.

Get The Fog Out is a process established byCrystal Clear Window Works in Canada over5years ago. It allows us to re-engineer theunit to clear the fog and mist which buildsup in-between the two panes of glass.

Dave’s son Jamie opted to quit his job to joinhis dad and took on this venture andbrought it to the Poole area to contributeinto help making things greener and moreeconomical for people.

Of course, when you have moisture inbetween the glass, it contributes to loss ofenergy as moisture is a good conductor ofheat transfer, therefore, reducing theeffectiveness of double-glazed windows.

Over 300,000 units have been successfullyrepaired in North America and now thisprocess is now available in the UK and, ofcourse, Poole so, if you look at it in thelarger perspective, this amazing new processcan substantially downsize the amount of

landfill councils, housing associations,window companies and ourselves cause bygetting the foggy windows replaced.

So this is our opportunity to act againstclimate change and global warming. It is alsoa great option at this time where we alooking at some tough economical times.This is a great opportunity for people to savemoney on home improvements on gettingthe fog out rather than having replacementglass, where it also has the benefit of doingtheir bit for the environment at the sametime.

We would like to wish you all a Happy New Year for 2012

Poole Town and Oakdale has had a successful year in the reduction of crime.

Crime figures show that overall crime is down when compared to the same period in 2010, with a distinct reduction in dwellingburglaries, vehicle crime and cycle theft. There has been an increase in commercial burglaries and we are working to address this. Wewould remind all business owners to be vigilant and ensure windows and doors are properly secured.

Operation Protect is still in place targeting violent crime in the night time economy. This is proving to be successful in reducing anddeterring the amount of incidents and is a long term operation.

Crime trends show, at this time of year around the busy shopping areas, purse theft increases. Make sure you know where your purseor bag is at all times and be aware of people around you. Keep it close to you and zipped up. Never rest your bag on your shoppingtrolley or leave it unattended as this just makes it easy for thieves.

Poole Safer Neighbourhood Officers are giving out lanyards with bells that you can attach to your bag and purse. When someonedisturbs your property the bell rings and alerts you. This acts as a deterrent. For your free lanyard contact your local saferneighbourhood team on 101 or the team mobile 07919 290098.

Please be vigilant and report any suspicious activity in your area.

We need your help to tackle crime.Current PrioritiesFrom public meeting 24/11/2011
