This is a Community Message from Aylesbury Watch Office on Monday 28 June 2010.
This week is national Rogue Traders week and Thames Valley Police and Aylesbury Vale District Council (AVDC) want to remind residents to be vigilant of rogue traders after a number of distraction/rogue trader type incidents were reported to both the police and council.
People have attended addresses pretending to be from the council offering refunds for bills and home energy saving products, or claimed to be from the police or the water board. Residents have also received calls asking for their bank details to give refunds and confirm security details. These offenders are trying to make people let them into their homes or give them confidential information.
Thames Valley Police and AVDC are asking you to follow the basic advice below:
* Every time a stranger calls at your door, it is essential that you ask them for identification, no matter which organisation they are from - even the police. Any genuine caller will hand over their identification so that you can ring the organisation they are from to check they are genuine, while they wait locked outside. Don't just accept the identification is genuine; always check by ringing the organisation.
* If in doubt - keep them out! Do not open the door to strangers; if you are not expecting someone, do not open the door to them. Use a door chain and door viewer to see who the caller is. Never let someone into your house before you confirm who they are.
* Ensure that back doors are locked if someone approaches the front of the house; distraction burglars usually work in pairs and whilst one is distracting you at the front door, another may be trying to gain entry at the back of the house.
* If someone is offering to do work for you at the door step, do not allow them to do it there and then, ask them to call back at another time when someone is with you. Do not be forced into accepting work that you do not want done. If in doubt about traders, call your local Trading Standards department at the council.
Distraction burglars are heartless criminals who use tricks to con their way into vulnerable people's homes and steal their valuables. Thames Valley Police and the council cannot tackle this crime alone and need the public's help. You can regularly reminding your elderly and vulnerable neighbours, friends or relatives about safe ways to answer the door to an unexpected caller.
If you would like any further crime reduction advice please contact your Crime Reduction Advisor via the 24-hour Police Enquiry Centre on 0845 8 505 505 or log onto the Thames Valley Police website at www.thamesvalley.police.uk. For further advice you can contact AVDC on 01296 585858.
If you have any information about criminal activity, and you do not want to talk to the police, you can call the Crimestoppers charity anonymously on 0800 555111.

Several reports have been received of residents in Aylesbury Vale receiving unsolicited phone calls from a company claiming to be either Aylesbury Vale District Council (AVDC) or working with them, offering people reduced price loft insulation or new boilers at a minimal cost.
These calls are NOT being made by or on behalf AVDC and there is a concern that these calls are being made in order to obtain bank details or security details about peoples homes.
Please remind all watch members that these type of calls can use all manner of excuses to obtain the information they require, of which this is just one example. Do not give out personal information or bank details to unknown or unexpected callers, be they on the telephone or in person. Do not enter into any agreements or make appointments for them to visit your home.
If you need work carrying out at your home, employ a trusted trader, whom you already know or by recommendation from other customers. Advice can be obtained by visiting www.consumerdirect.gov.uk

Pet Service - June 27th
Pet Service at St. Nicholas’ Church
Chearsley

Chearsley
June 27th 2010 at 10.00am
On June 27th at 10.00am, we are having a Pet Service. This is not just a gimmick but it has a serious intent. Every animal is loved by God. Animals are part of God’s creation and, according to Genesis, possess the ‘breath of life’. (Gen 1:30). They are created on the same day with human beings and are similarly blessed. ‘It must never be forgotten’, wrote Austin Farrer, ‘ that God is the God of hawks and sparrows, of microbes no less than of men’. We share this earth with animals and are inextricably caught up with them as part of an ecological whole. Yet, we frequently injure, exploit and destroy them. This is not something that should be taken lightly. As an old rabbinical saying puts it, ‘The way a person treats an animal is an index to his soul’.
Jesus identified with animals at many points in his life and spoke about them in many of the stories that he told. The vision of God’s Kingdom is of a time when harmony with animals is restored - ‘the wolf shall live with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid, the calf and the lion and the fatling together’. So it is very important that we take time to thank God for ‘all creatures great and small’ and for the way in which they so enrich our lives and provide for us.
Do come and bring your pet! If your pet is small, please have it in a cage, and none should be allowed to roam free. If the pet you propose to bring is ill-disposed towards children or likely to bite, please leave it at home!
Which reminds me of an advert I once saw: Bulldog for sale. Will eat anything. Very fond of children

It all starts at 2pm and ends approximately 5pm after the raffle is drawn. If you still need to buy raffle tickets, (and there are a lot of good prizes, including lunch at e Manoir aux Quat' Saisons for 2), or would like more, they are available from The Bell, Village Stores and on the day. The fun carries on into the evening when there will be a live band and hog roast at The Bell, starting at about 7pm. Chilli and jacket potato will also be available from Jay at the Shop.

Two local residents in the Long Crendon and Hartwell areas have recently received unsolicited phone calls from callers, claiming to be from a home security company and other calls from a Computer company.
The conversation with the Computer Company suggests that they can assist with problems with your home PC. Your PC maybe running too slow, or you maybe experiencing frequent disconnection problems.
It is worth reminding all watch members of the following advice from Trading Standards - do not deal with cold callers. Never give personal information to unknown callers and never give passwords, credit cards and bank details over the telephone.
You can also register your telephone number with the Telephone Preference Service. This is the official central opt-out register where you can record your preference not to receive unsolicited sales or marketing calls. You can do this online at www.mpsonline.org.uk/tps/ or by calling 0845 070 0707

Play safe, stay safe!
Personal safety information for young people during school holidays from AVDC Community Safety Project Support
The school holidays are fast approaching and whilst it’s a time to have lots of fun, safety should also be at the top of the list. Personal safety is important at any time of the year and even more so during school holidays when teenagers are away from the safe environment of a school and have lots of spare time to fill, most often with friends and without adult supervision.
Whilst there are only a small number of youth related incidents, it is important that teenagers are aware of personal safety and how to protect themselves and their belongings, even more so due to the high number of valuables that are now being carried around such as mobile phones, MP3 players and games consoles.
Follow the advice below and make the summer holiday a time to remember for all the right reasons.
• Avoid taking short-cuts through dark or deserted places.
• Always try to avoid walking home alone. Stay with friends.
• Do not advertise your belongings, try to keep usage to a minimum in public and keep your mobile hidden when you're not using it
• Do not wear an IPod\mp3 player\personal stereo as it prevents you being aware of what is happening around you.
• Register your property by visiting www.immobilise.com
• Property mark all valuables
For a FREE UV property marking pen please call into Customer Services at Aylesbury Vale District Council, 66 High Street, Aylesbury or visit the AVDC desk at the Buckingham Centre, Verney Close, Buckingham.
If you are unable to travel due to a disability, please contact the Council on 01296 585615 and we can arrange to post the item.
