The OWL is Coming 17 August 2010 To all community contacts, Some of you may not be aware that a new innovative ONLINE WATCH LINK is about to be introduced throughout Monmouthshire. The scheme known as OWL will revolutionise Neighbourhood watch locally and we need your support in your local community with this new watch scheme. We currently have around 20 streets or district co-ordinators in the Usk valley involved in local watches and interested in this new scheme. If you are not in a street or area with a currently active watch- then help us change that and help you in joining the scheme. We are looking in the first instance for all co-ordinators,particularly those on e-mail to get in touch with us. This is simply so we can invite co-ordinators to a local meeting to discuss how OWL works. The next phase in introducing the OWL system will be to register members locally with the assistance of our local co-ordinators. This system will replace the now defunct RINGMASTER community telephone messaging system.It is also able to communicate through various mediums including telephone messages ,sms,e-mail so if you haven`t got a computer at present don`t worry. Please pass this message around your neighbours and friends as we need co-ordinators in as many areas or streets as possible.I hope that within the next week I could forward the watch liason officer Sergeant Samuel Atkinson a comprehensive list covering all local wards including Usk,LLanbadoc fawr,Llangybi fawr,Llanover Fawr,Raglan and Goytre Fawr police wards.If you live in these areas please enquire about your local watch to see if you have a local co-ordinator or not.If in doubt or you would like to set one up in your street or community then please send us your contact details. Don`t miss this opportunity to join this fantastic new online neighbourhood watch scheme via usk@gwent.pnn.police.uk PC 314 MIKE THOMAS USK NEIGHBOURHOOD POLICING TEAM. ********************************************************************** Police Report-August 12 August 2010

Site Meeting at the Newbridge -on-Usk 05 August 2010 File Note: Land at Whitehall/Newbridge –on-Usk 13/7/10 at noon Gypsy Site at Llangeview refused Planning Consent 05 August 2010 At the last meeting of the Monmouthshire County Council Planning Committee, planning application 2009/00057, for a permanent site for a traveller family at Llangeview, was refused. One of the main reasons was that a 4 foot water main passed underneath the site and objections to any residential use involving building was opposed by Welsh Water. Cllr David Pollitt represented the Community Council and spoke to the committee outlining our objections on the grounds of access, suitability,location in relation to services etc.(see written statement in the Library section of this site) The applicant , Mrs Star Lea announced afterwards that she would appeal to the WAG.

Use of Mobiles when Driving-Safety Film 12 July 2010
To all Community contacts, At 1930 hours on Monday 12th July 2010- the next local showing of the "COW"road safety film is due to take place at the Usk Platform centre(Usk Youth centre) at Maryport street Usk.(The red brick building down the road from the One Stop shop.).This film is about the consequences of driving whilst using a mobile telephone. The event is for interested local young drivers particularly those in the 17 years to 30 years age bracket to see this short film.It is around 40 minutes long and we are hoping that staff from our Heddlu Gwent Police road policing unit and local fire service staff will be available afterwards to discuss the distressing and emotive issues portrayed in this film. Parents with younger children are advised that it is very graphic and shows the horrific consequences of a road collision.Younger teenagers should be warned in advance of the content of this film which is very realistic- but if parents wish to attend with them then please do so.I am advised anyone under 14 years should not see this film for this reason. This short film has over 8 million "hits" on the internet,has attracted international road safety attention,was filmed and produced locally in the Heddlu Gwent police area by Gwent Police in conjunction with Newport University film school. I understand it was even in a 2010 BAFTA award short film category recently. If you have a young driver in your household or just wish to see the film please come along. This is a free event to all,with kind permission of the Monmouthshire youth service for use of their hall and facilities. Pc 314 Mike Thomas Usk. Police Report-July 6th July 06 July 2010

Crime Report 8/6/10 08 June 2010 To all Community contacts-all wards, On Monday morning 07/06/2010 a number of crime related incidents were reported in the Usk town ward where hanging baskets,and a garden trough were reported stolen over the weekend. Over 30 floral hanging baskets were taken from a local garden nursery and others taken from a local OAP complex. It may be coincidental but a white van with a number similar to "CN55 SVD" (index not correct) was sighted around 10pm on Sunday night at the Glen yr Afon Hotel when a male in flourescent clothing was disturbed by staff seeking used cooking oil containers.If you have seen a similar registered vehicle or person seeking oil please report it by calling Heddlu Gwent Police on "101". CRIME PREVENTION ADVICE. Please consider securing your hanging baskets with a plastic tie - by securing the basket chain to any wall bracket -a few pence for a plastic tie can easily prevent your basket be removed.The stolen trough was of a considerable weight but taken from a frontage of an address.If you have similar flower displays please consider trying to secure them in place to prevent their removal.Put your Post Code (and house number/name) on any floral display containers if able to make them identifiable. Thank you, PC 314 Mike Thomas. |
