No restrictions for Severn Trent customers - no plans yet for a hosepipe ban. Despite the record low rainfall over the last 16 months and the Environment Agency stating that more areas of the Midlands are at a high risk of drought, Severn Trent Water says that it is not predicting any usage restrictions this year. The situation remains under constant review however and the company is taking steps to ensure supplies are resilient both this year and next. More details here

URGENT WARNING! There have been incidents in our area, including several in Ashton, involving door-to-door salesmen. Male callers claim to be ex-offenders working for Morgan Wholesale under a scheme called 'Keep Britain Working' but this is a scam. The police refer to this type of sales person as 'Nottingham Knockers'. They are generally dropped off in an area in gangs and sell household items.
They should always have a pedlars certificate with them and if they do, most of the time they are not committing a direct offence. However, the best scenario is you obtain low quality goods at an inflated price. A much worse outcome is they have a good look at your property with a view to coming back and committing a burglary. Police advice is not to buy from such callers. Further information from Ashton Neighbourhood Watch: Roger Umpelby 881458

We will be celebrating HM The Queen's Diamond Jubilee with a special 'Celebrations' exhibition in St Barbara's Church.
