101 Is the New Number for Reporting Crime to the Police.

Calling all caring cats and dogs

101 provides residents with a memorable number to report crime and other concerns that do not require an emergency response. Examples are: • Reporting a stolen car.

• Damage or vandalism to property.

• Suspicion of drug use or dealing.

• Reporting minor traffic collisions.

• Providing information about crime.

Your local schools, hospitals and care homes

How does it work? When a resident phones 101, Police in the control room will answer the call and respond appropriately.

If the incident is recognised as an emergency, the operator or police call handler will put them through to 999.

(and your caring owners)

NEED YOU!

Why not brighten someone’s day, and get fussed over at the same time!

(Your owner may even be rewarded with a friendly chat, and tea and biscuits, for accompanying you)

Interested?

How much does it cost to call? Calls to the 101 non-emergency number will cost 15 pence for the entire call, no matter how long the call or what time of day it is. This applies to both landlines and mobile phones.

What does this mean? 101 will change how the public get in touch with the police. It will make the service more accessible and potentially reduce pressure on the 999 system.

Then get your owner to call us for more information:

Christmas tree recycling A free kerbside Christmas Tree collection will operate from 9th January 2012.

Please leave your tree in a safe and visible place for collection on your normal collection day for the crews to pick up.

Please ensure that the tree is completely stripped of decorations as these are sent to a composting facility for reprocessing and it cannot cope with angels or tinsel! For large trees it would be helpful if you could cut them into smaller pieces.
