The road closure that was scheduled for this coming Monday, 1 November has been pushed back to the weekend of 13/14 November.
The main road through Bellingdon will be closed between Old Timbers and Sun Cottage on the Chesham side of the Village Hall. For those of a what3words persuasion, we’re told the exact location is /// client.headset.rush
In any case, those on the village hall side of the closure will need to take an alternative route – the signposted diversion we understand will be via Asheridge. https://one.network/ is a useful resource where you can see any additional changes to the plan.
For anyone who might need it, there is a house by house map here on the website. It could probably do with some updating – any volunteers please get in touch!
We’re having some trouble with our main email account for bookings, please use bookingsbaaca@gmail.com for hall hire enquiries or use our enquiry form.
Thames Valley Police are inviting interested horse riders to attend a Rural Spotters Evening on TUESDAY 30th NOVEMBER 2021 at Amersham for 19.15 registration and a 19.30 start. The meeting aims to give you information about Rural Spotters, the opportunity to ask questions and to join up.
Rural Spotters are volunteers who act as the eyes and ears of the Police in rural areas, and liaise with their local community. They will be riders who look out for anything suspicious whilst out on their normal hacking routes. Training will be given, assessments made, Hi Vis vests handed out. We already have an active team of enthusiastic Spotters and are looking to recruit more.
Bookings in advance only please. You will not be admitted if you haven’t booked. Please confirm that you have been double vaccinated against Covid 19. If you test Covid positive during the 7 days prior to the meeting please advise us and do not attend.
The survey, launched on Wednesday 20th October 2021, is open to the public across England and Wales, regardless of whether they live in a Neighbourhood Watch area or not.
The results will enable us to better understand on a national and regional level crime, fear of crime and benchmark whether membership to a Neighbourhood Watch scheme, or living in a Neighbourhood Watch area, has an impact on levels of crime, concern about crime, neighbourliness, and the willingness of communities to work together.
Last year our survey received just over 30,000 responses from across England and Wales providing us with a rich and useful set of data. This year we will be able to compare our data to last year’s results.
Please share this survey via email and social across all the various communities to which you belong whether they be a Neighbourhood Watch community or others such as sport, religious or work communities. This will help us receive a good balance of responses from Neighbourhood Watch members and non-members which will enable us to compare experiences between these two groups. To help you reach others we have attached a poster that you can print and display locally or share digitally. Alternatively, re-share our social posts (Facebook / Twitter / Instagram / LinkedIn) to your channels.
A good response in all regions will ensure we can publish a national report and provide individual regions with their own reports.
All data will be anonymised and aggregated and will be used by Neighbourhood Watch to ensure our work is effective, inclusive, and representative.
The survey closes on the 16th of November. Thank you for your support.
