Burglary Warning

Abbey SNT need your assistance in reducing burglaries on the ward. Although we are carrying out plain clothes and high visibility patrols to detect burglars, it is essential that you assist us to prevent these crimes in two ways; Dial 999 immediately if you see anyone acting suspiciously and most importantly ensure your property is secure. Windows and doors have a small single lock they can easily be forced open. For a free Home Security Survey contact us on 020 8649 3584 or Abbey@met.police.uk. Public access to police in London The Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) is reviewing the different ways in which the public can contact police and access our services. As part of the review, we have launched an online survey until 27th May 2011 at www.met.police.uk to ask for your opinions on the future of front counters; a proposed minimum ‘core service commitment’. The survey is not about decisions regarding individual front counters.

Merton's Dog Watch scheme

The scheme is being launched on Saturday 14th May 2011 in King George's Playing Field, Tudor Drive, Morden, SM4 4PN between 10am and 2pm. The scheme is aimed at dog owners from across the borough and aims to collect information from members about issues in their area that impact on their quality of life, for example, anti social behaviour, dangerous dogs or even untaxed vehicles. The scheme will also be used to advise and inform owners on dog welfare, care and legislation, through a quarterly newsletter. Please come along and support the event and bring your family, including your dog! There will be a dog agility course, training advice, free Health Checks, free micro chipping and lots more. For more information or to sign up to the scheme, do not hesitate to contact me at Clare.L.Hammond@met.police.uk or on 020 8721 2456.
