ORLEY ews
driver) who lived in the village in a house owned by the
Houghs. They would remain married for over 60 years until
Winnie passed away at the age of 97 in 2004. Bill
unfortunately also lost his daughter in 2008. He now lives
with his son in law John, and regularly sees his grandchildren
Ian and Joanne, and his great-grandchildren, Nathan and
Jessica.
Outside work Bill was a keen sportsman – playing for one of
the two Norley football teams at the time; and was also a keen
tennis player. The village lawn tennis club started up on Bill’s
land in the early ‘30’s (Bill and Ewart Hough being founding
members) and in its heyday there would regularly be 20+
people waiting for a game of a summers evening, and so only
doubles were allowed so as to let everyone get a game.
As a key member of the tennis club he was also instrumental
in starting up the tennis amateur dramatics club (cited on the
programmes as Norley Lawn Tennis Club – Dramatic
Section). They put on 8 productions between 1932 and 1937 -
“The Middle Watch” (in which Bill played Marine Ogg) in
1932; “Tilly of Bloomsbury” in 1934 (in which he both acted
and was the Stage Manager); and “Lord Richard in the
Pantry” (Bill played Lord Richard) in 1937. These
productions were staged at the Temperance Hall (now the
Village Hall) and Bill helped make made much of the scenery
in the shippons of his old cottage.
Bill also gave a home to the Bowling club for many years
with a green and pavilion being constructed soon after the
war, although Bill was not a player himself.
Bill was also a keen supporter of Chester City football club
and made a regular trip to see their home games with Alf
Lewis. Bill never learnt to drive himself – although he did
ride motorbikes in his younger days. He does recount nearly
running over the test examiner on his motor bike test but
passing anyway! His only venture into driving on four wheels
resulted in almost tipping over a van and so was not allowed
behind the wheel again!
Although Bill is not as physical active as he once was, he now
enjoys exercising his mind with a daily dose of Sudoku
puzzles. He also still enjoys watching sports - in particular
tennis although maintains that the modern games lacks the
skills of the old.
Congratulations and a very Happy 100th Birthday!
Ian R
William (Bill) Thompson was born on the 11th October 1912
into a Norley family which has occupied or owned land in the
village since before 1750. He grew up living at Hawthorne
House – which at that time was an old cottage and
outbuildings right next to the road. He attended the old
Norley School leaving at the age of 14.
He then started work with Alf Lewis as an apprentice Joiner.
Alf Lewis’s father had taken over the business from Bill’s
grandmother. He worked for Lewis’s until 1939 and the start
of the war. As Bill was in a reserved occupation, he was sent
to undertake numerous civil engineering projects, and recalls
working on a reservoir near Frodsham, and at Delamere Park
building Nissen huts for the Polish camp.
He then joined the army in 1942, and served in The Royal
Electrical and Mechanical Engineers. His army service again
involved him in building bridges and the like, and he was
stationed in such places as Derby and Preston. Following the
end of the war Bill returned to his trade and worked for
Ilidges. At the time Ilidges had a contract with Greenall’s
Brewery and Bill can recount working at many of the pubs
around the county over the years. Towards the end of his
working life he worked for Fred Stubbs and retired at 65
years of age.
Once retired Bill concentrated on building a new house which
would replace the old cottage. The cottage and land had been
in his family since 1778. He started digging the foundations
behind the cottage in 1976 and the new house was completed
and the cottage demolished a few years later.
Bill married Winnie Hardman – also from Norley - in 1941,
and they had a daughter, Pam. He had known Winnie for a
long time (as everyone knew everyone in the village then) but
had got to know her better through his friend Ewart Hough.
She was working for a Mrs Longden (as a companion and

2 Norley News— October 2012
Norley’s Guiding Lights Local resident Isabel Mercer and two of her friends – many
thanks to all of them - share below some of their recollections
of Girl Guiding in Norley before and after the last war.
Isabel has lived in and around Norley for over 50 years. Her
going to Private school and college ended her own Guiding
career, but she has lots of nice memories. She went on to be a
keen tennis player (her mother had been a keen player too),
playing and making many friends at Frodsham and Helsby
Tennis Clubs, and at Norley’s own club, no longer with us.
She met her husband Bob through playing at Helsby, and she
went on to represent the county, through Frodsham Tennis
Club.
Although she has done many things, Isabel worked largely as
a secretary in local schools at Frodsham, Kingsley,
Weaverham, Weston Point and Manley, among others.
Sadly Isabel now suffers from immune system illness lupus.
While there is no cure the best medicine, Isabel says, is
“laughter and smiles”. Her daughter and two granddaughters
provide much of this medicine, as do her memories of her
Girl Guiding past.
Lillian recalls;
“ I joined the Guides in 1939. I walked a mile each way to
the Norley Parish Room where we had our meetings. We
were put into patrols. One girl was chosen as our leader. We
learned to tie knots and lots of other things. At the end of
our meeting we would stand and sing;
Day is done
Gone the sun
From the sea, from the sky
All is well, safely rest
God is nigh.
I remember we held a jumble sale in the Parish Room to
raise money. We put on concerts in the Temperance Hall,
and held dances in the old Norley School, where we
sprinkled talc on the floor, to make it better to dance on.
The band consisted of three local men.
Sometimes Girl Guides would come from Liverpool to
camp in the forest. We were invited to their campfire to sing
our songs and have a cup of cocoa.
In 1949, we went to camp at Whitley. We left Norley on the
back of Mr Lewis’ wagon. We were joining Cotebrook
Guides who had already arrived and got the tents up and the
fire going. We gathered wood, walked down the lane to get
milk, and ordered food from a little shop nearby.
Some mothers came to visit on the Wednesday, and on
Thursday afternoon we had our treat, going in to
Warrington by bus, for tea at Carter’s café in Bridge Street
– sandwiches and jam and cream scones.
I enjoyed my time in the Girl Guides very much.”
Joan says;
“ I joined Norley Girl Guides in May 1946. The four
patrols were named after birds – mine was called the

days were over!“
While Isabel herself recalls;
“I joined the Guides about 1939/40. Our captain was
Cathleen Weldon. A lady called Lillian worked with her.
We were proud of our uniforms and badges (though I lost
mine at home!). We were in four teams – I was a Swallow.
There is a photo of us marching up Maddocks Hill from
Crowton, taking our flag to church for Remembrance Sunday.
I got to carry the flag sometimes. We also walked to Norley
church - the Scouts walked behind us. I walked part way up
the Church tower once, high enough to semaphore to other
guides at the School for help to get down!
In 1945 we went camping at Heswall, We were having a great
time putting the tents up and so on, until the wind and rain
came, and we had to move into a farmer’s building.
There are lots of memories; we did a Christmas play at the
Temperance Hall, “The Little Fir Tree”. Lots of rehearsals
and a few tears, but on the night it was wonderful, with a full
hall. I remember a few of us climbing Kinder Scout on a
cold windy day. We were very proud to get to the top!”
Jon
Swallows. Our leaders were Marion Greatbanks and Hilda
Walker.
I loved every minute of Guiding – from the songs we sang to
doing our “badges” – such as cooking, home making and first
aid. I still have my uniform with the badges on the sleeve.
We joined many village parades, such as the one on
Remembrance Sunday.
After two or three years I became Swallows patrol leader. My
first camp was at Rhos-Colyn on Holyhead Island. Our
campsite was just a field: a long way to carry water. We
cooked on two open campfires, with the loo a hole in the
ground.
The next two years we went to Arnside, which was a lot more
modern, with better cooking and toilet facilities and a
building, which we slept in some of the time, because it was
so wet.
Friday night was Guides night at the Parish Room. One night
in 1952 we met as usual, and were told we were too old to be
Guides. We were invited to join the Rangers, but as they met
in Frodsham and we had no way of getting there, our guiding

4 Norley News— October 2012
Dear Editor, We are concerned about the increasing amount of dog dirt
around the village.
Living in Foresters Close where there is limited pavement,
we have taught our children to walk on verges and close to
the walls when walking opposite the shop, pub and other
unpaved areas on their way to school. On the first day of
term, I was alarmed by the large amounts of dog faeces on
public rights of way. It was on verges in Foresters Close
and School Bank, opposite the shop,on the green space
outside the pub and unbelievably, outside of the school!
This has the effect of forcing the children and parents on to
the road and becoming vulnerable to the frequently
speeding traffic around the blind bend by the shop. (an issue
in itself!)
Anyone who has ever had to remove dog dirt from a child’s
shoes or the wheels of a buggy will know just how
disgusting and unpleasant it can be, especially if it gets onto
floors and carpets in homes and the school. No matter how
lovely your dog is, it’s facades is not! It is highly toxic, with
up to 23 million coliform bacteria in one gram, it can cause
stomach upsets, and sickness and diahorrea which can lead
to problems with kidneys and eye sight. These individuals
need to mindful of the real risk to children’s health. Failure
to pick it up is more than just thoughtless, rather socially
and morally unacceptable.
Today, when picking our children up from school, my
husband spotted a girl with brown hair tied in a ponytail
aged about fifteen walking a shaggy cream dog outside the
school at about 4.30 pm. She allowed the dog to foul the
verge where the children walk on their way into and home
from school every day and walked off. When challenged
she claimed she intended to pick it up on the way back as
their were no bins, despite there being one outside the
school and walked off! While we know that most of the dog
owners in the village are highly responsible, we would urge
the few who are not to be mindful of how this disgusting
practise effects others. We also ask the parents of teenage
dog walkers to be responsible for making sure their dog
mess is always picked up.
Allowing a dog to foul is illegal and liable to a £1000
fine, as is littering by people who dump poop bags in
hedges, hang them from branches or just leave them at the
side of the road where they can split or be picked up by
children. There is no dog poo fairy to tidy it up!!!
If the problem continues, we would urge anyone who
knows who is responsible to call the Cheshire West helpline
and report the culprits so that they can be fined for their anti
social behaviour.

concerning the £700 funding from Councillor Oultram for
the Queens Jubilee
67. Affordable Housing
(i) Chairman allowed open questions and discussion
concerning Affordable Housing.
(ii) Councillor Greenacre sent a letter concerning
Affordable housing which was read aloud for the benefit of
members:-
I’m sorry to miss the meeting tonight – I have a long-
standing work commitment. I’m also sorry that I didn’t
make the July meeting – coming back so soon after the
Open Morning seemed a bit much, although I would have
done if I’d anticipated the level of objection at the meeting.
It will come as no surprise to you that I was very
disappointed at the decision to bump the affordable housing
project into the Neighbourhood Plan, although I do
understand the overwhelming pressure. We discussed the
option of considering affordable housing as part of the
Neighbourhood Plan many times and decided against it
because of the long timelines. The late reversal of that
decision means that a lot of time has been wasted and we
have likely lost the opportunity to influence the process. We
had already begun to discuss ideas for expanding the public
consultation and improving communication during the
Open Morning post-mortem, so it does seem like the
decision has thrown the baby out with the bath water.
Moving forward, I think we need to consider what direction
the Parish Council should take. Do we think we have the
time and capacity to take on large projects like affordable
housing? Or should we stick to smaller, less controversial
projects? Whatever the decision, I think we need a plan for
the remainder of our term of office that we commit to.
There is no point in starting projects if decisions are going
to be constantly revisited. At the moment, we are just
bumbling along. There’s not necessarily anything wrong
with that, it’s what a lot of Parish Councils do, but it is
were approved subject to the following amendments:-
Clerk asked to provide name of Councillor who proposed the
motion at Minute number 53 stating that this was first &
seconded. Clerk asked to make the decision of the Council at the last
paragraph of minute Number 53 clearer. This paragraph now
reads:- Councillor Ford proposed that the Parish Council postpone
the current consultation immediately, to wait the outcome
from the planning application at the Haulage Yard. If and
when these affordable houses have been built and occupied,
for a further needs survey to then be completed, to determine
whether any affordable housing need remained in the village,
and that any future Affordable Housing Project in the village,
to be managed as part of Norley Neighbourhood Plan. This
was proposal was first and seconded and carried by the
Council.
65. Approval of Minutes of Norley Parish Council Affordable
Housing Committee Meeting 28/06/12
These minutes were not approved by the Council as there
were not sufficient members of the Affordable Housing
Committee in attendance, to approve these. Clerk instructed
to include this as an agenda item at the next meeting of the
Parish Council.
66. Matters arising from the minutes of Norley Parish Council
Meeting 24/07/12.
(i) Bruce Lane has requested information before the Walking
Group can decide whether they are able to walk the footpaths
in the village. Clerk instructed to obtain relevant maps and
inform him that the footpaths do cover approximately 20
miles, but that these do not need to be walked all at once, but
spread out throughout the year. Norley Parish Council thinks
that Norley Footpath Society has now been dispanded to their
knowledge.
(ii) Clerk will take the cleaning of the road signs forward.
(iii) Clerk is waiting for Cheshire West and Chester to reply
Norley News—October 2012 9
certainly different to the aspirations expressed when we took
office.
(iii) Councillor Taylor & Councillor Wild suggested that the
Council agrees objectives of what the Parish Council hope to
achieve to allow this to be measured.
(iv) Chairman updated members of the Haulage Yard
Application explaining, that CWAC were waiting the 106
agreement to be formulated before they could make a
decision on this application. Once this agreement is signed it
is expected that the application will be approved.
68. Norley Neighbourhood Plan.
Consultation questionnaire has been issued to all properties in
the village. Councillor Davidson provided an update on the
responses to date. The closing date set for this consultation
has been extended, Councillor Davison to agree an exact date
for the closure of the consultation with the Neighbourhood
Plan Committee, at their next meeting and advertise this to
parishioners via Norley News. Further information will
follow once the consultation has been closed and evaluated.

The Village of Norley 2012 Responses to Questionnaire sent to all Households
A survey of the households of Norley parish was
undertaken during July and August 2012, and at the Norley
Garden Show on September 1st. The survey sought to
obtain the views of villagers on the existing village, their
concerns for the future and what changes to the village they
would most like to see.
Up to mid September 80 questionnaires were completed and
returned from a total of 494 sent to all residences. More
returns are expected, but these results have been reviewed
by the Neighbourhood Plan Steering Committee and are
described below:
Summary
Likes: The majority of replies liked the rural setting of
Norley with its quiet and green characteristics. It is
considered un-crowded with plenty of open green space.
The amenities of shop and pubs are seen as key attributes of
the village. The friendly attitude of residents and the strong
community spirit is considered a major asset.
Concerns: The over-riding major concern was of
inappropriate house developments either having occurred or
likely to occur in the future. Vehicle speeding, particularly
along High Street, but also at other locations has been
identified as a serious problem.
Changes Sought: The need for and introduction of limited
affordable housing, but not as an estate, is recognised.
Linked to this is the use of existing buildings / infill plots to
create more smaller properties. An improved bus/public
transport service is seen as a requirement. An improved
broadband facility is also required. continued on page 15

Rene’s café came to life in Norley Village Hall on Saturday October 13th as a fundraising Allo Allo night got underway. There was a full house as all 80 tickets had been snapped up. The whole audience got into the spirit of the evening, with many people arriving in fancy dress – complete with berets, silk scarves, stripy tops and garlic garlands hung round necks. Audience participation continued as John Davidson, Chairman of Norley Parish Council and fellow Norley man, David Snow were both selected from the crowd for roles as the English airmen hiding under the bed. This saw them in ladies frocks and wigs for the rest of the evening. “There are great characters and risqué humour, and it goes down very well in a setting like Norley Village Hall,” said Arnold Ashbrook, who played the role of Leclerc. “I think the evening was great. It was the ideal place as you’ve got the banter from the audience, which you need for something like that – banter makes it even funnier. “It works best in a small venue where it really feels like you are in a café and everybody is so close that they feel they can get involved,” Arnold added. Laura Williams, from Hatchmere, who played Yvette, said “From our point of view it was the best one we have ever done. The audience was amazing.” Laura’s son, James Williams, who is 16 years old and currently in the sixth form at Sir John Dean’s College, shone in the effeminate role of Gruber with utterly convincing hip wiggling and lusty looks. “But the campness was pure showmanship. He’s very good,” said Arnold. James has played the role several times and admits that perfecting the camp mannerisms took time. “It’s got more natural the more I’ve done it, and got more comfortable with it,” he said. Initially, James had to be ‘bribed’ by his mother to give drama a go, but now he loves it and is doing more and more, with several comedy roles under his belt now. And to the audience’s delight, Phil Murray was more than ‘just pissing by’ in his role as Officer Crabtree, as he ensured everyone had a good evening thanks to his ‘good
moaning.’ Howls of laughter ensued right to the final moments of the evening, when, Neil Silcock, playing the straight laced Herr Flick, shed his full length trench coat to reveal he was sporting some rather racy ladies’ lingerie underneath, complete with suspenders. The Kingsley Players are seasoned pros at putting on Allo Allo nights, having first done them two or three years ago, after having written to the original author and gained permission to put the show on. Bringing the show to Norley was the brainwave of Noreen Ashbrook, who unfortunately, due to illness was unable to attend on the night. She was inspired by her connection with the Kingsley Players through her husband Arnold Ashbrook, who acts and writes plays and musicals for the drama group. “The Kingsley Players have done a touring production of Allo Allo in several towns around the Cheshire area,” said Jon Wild, Chairman of the Norley Village Hall Committee. “Quite a lot of work was involved in putting on the evening in Norley. As well as all the organising by the members of the village hall committee, the Kingsley Players themselves put in a lot of work on the day. Stephné Douglas (with help from her mum) led efforts on the catering, and all of the Committee worked really hard all evening - looking resplendent dressed as French maids! Some young people from the village also helped us out a lot – thanks to George, Phillippa and Maddie. “I think it was superb. I’ve had a lot of good feedback from villagers who say it was one of the best nights we’ve organised. “We haven’t yet got a final figure, but we do know it raised a good amount of money for the village hall,” Jon added. The Kingsley Players’ will be putting on a musical production of The Amazing Mr Scrooge, based on A Christmas Carol from 5th to 8th December. To buy tickets visit www.kingsleyplayers.co.uk

There were many other issues raised but, to date, are not
popularly supported.
Details:
The responses on the survey form have been categorised
under the headings environment, property, commercial,
infrastructure, social and community, and other, to enable
the Steering Committee to address the responses in more
detail. Because the questions asked were ‘open’ there has
been a wide spread of responses. Generally people limited
their replies to three "Likes"' three "Concerns"' and two or
three "Preferred Changes". However, certain issues repeat
across many responses and these are summarised below.
Percentages referring to a particular topic are the number of
questionnaire returns which specify that topic, as a
percentage of the total number of questionnaires returned
(80). Where a particular topic has less than 15%
“support” (ie less than 12 responses) it is not reported here.
Likes
Environment
The majority of replies [80%] liked the rural setting of
Norley with its variety of wildlife and proximity to
Delamere Forest
The small and spreadout nature of Norley with plenty of
open green spaces amongst the builtup areas is valued
[30%].
A significant number [35%] valued the quiet and tranquil
nature of Norley after taking account of a very small
number of concerns about Noise.
Commercial
The amenities of shop, pubs and (to a lesser extent),
restaurant, are seen as key attributes of the village [51%].
Infrastructure
Good road connections to major cities and towns is
appreciated [16%].
Social and Community
The friendly attitude of residents and the strong community
spirit is considered a major asset [40%].
The existence of a villlage school is valued [20%].
Concerns
Property
The over-riding major concern was of inappropriate house
developments either having occurred or likely to occur in
the future [85%]. This was expressed in three main ways:
Large replacement dwellings out of character [26%].
Future Estate development / large over –expansion [26%].
Inappropriate development (no further explanation given)
and Greenbelt development [33%].
Infrastructure
Vehicle speeding, particularly along High Street, but also at
other locations has been identified as a serious problem
[20%].
Changes Sought
Property
The need for and introduction of limited affordable housing,
but not as an estate, is recognised. Linked to this is the
use of existing buildings / infill plots to create more
smaller properties [40%].
Infrastructure
An improved bus/public transport service is seen as a
requirement, both in frequency and operating periods
[23%].
Continued from page 10
16 Norley News— October 2012
Slow broadband is a concern and an improved broadband
facility is required [20%].
Improvements to traffic management / control speeding are
wanted in various locations [18%] .
There were many other issues and ideas raised but, to date,
are not yet popularly supported. There were also many offers
of help which are gratefully received, and all of these will be
followed up.
Further consultations with village organisations are planned
so as to expand the number of responses and help us to
produce a Baseline Report which we are aiming to complete
early next year. This will be shared with the community and
we hope will form the first stage in a three stage process for
producing an agreed Neighbourhood Plan for the next 20
years.

Class 3 visit the
Grosvenor Museum in
Chester. On Thursday 27th September Class 3
went on a Federated visit with
Kingsley St John School to the
Grosvenor Museum in Chester.
Our first task was to draw some of the Roman gravestones
before doing a Roman quiz in one of the galleries.
Next we did three workshops, one as archaeologists looking
at stones, bones and pottery. One looking at the kinds of
food the Romans would have eaten and one about the
Roman baths.
We were then shown some of the armour that a Roman
soldier would have worn and Nathan and Alfie-Joe were
dressed as soldiers.
After lunch we were introduced to a Roman soldier, who
dressed us in armour and took us on a walking tour of
Chester. He showed us the remains of some Roman baths
and explained about the Gladiators fighting in the
Amphitheatre. Walking back to the museum we were
allowed to shout out “Sin, sin, sin, dec, sin.” which means
“Left, left, left, right, left.” in Latin.
We had a very busy day and we learnt a lot more about the
Romans.
Here are some of the children’s comments.
“In the workshop we found out how the Romans got their
heating in the pools.”
“In my group we made mosaics with colourful tiles.”
“We went to the kitchen area and did some grinding of
spices.”
“Some people dressed up as slaves and did the chores.”
“I liked the Roman soldier because he let us shout and we
nearly gave the teachers a headache!”
Rugby On Wednesday 3rd October we went to go and compete in a
TAG rugby competition at Helsby Rugby Club. Our first
match was against Hillside. The next match we played was
against Weavervale B. Then we played Alvanley and that
was the semi final so we had to win and we did just that as
we had won all of the previous matches. The final was
against Hillside so the pressure was on us. It was a very
close match but we won the match 6-5. So we won the
golden TROPHY! Again. We are through to the next round
of the competition at Whitby Social Club next Thursday.

Macmillan Coffee Afternoon On Friday the 29th of September, we had a Coffee afternoon
for Macmillan Cancer Support. We all brought in cakes, tea,
coffee, old books and flowers to make the afternoon
complete. Class four had a job each to make the afternoon
as amazing as last year. Abi and Imogen made tea and
coffee, Charlotte and Sandy served the cakes, Lily and
Lauren washed the dishes, Dawid gave out plates, Dan
collected donations and all the year fives socialised and
made sure everyone was comfortable. All together .the
Macmillan coffee afternoon was a great success, as we
raised £180!
We hope that next year will be as successful as this year!
Thank you very much for your help and support.

ADVANCE NOTICE
18 Norley News— October 2012
householder, working in their garden was distracted by a
male talking to him whilst an accomplice burgled the house
via an insecure door. The offenders are believed to have
been in a BMW vehicle. If you can assist in identifying this
vehicle, please contact the police. During the same
afternoon, in Townfield Lane, Farndon, an occupant was
working in her garden between 2pm and 3.30, leaving her
front door ajar. She later discovered that someone had
sneaked in and burgled the house.
As always, so many offences are opportunistic in nature.
Please ensure that you keep ALL doors locked at all times
and that shed and garage locks & hinges are up to the job.
A number of metal drain covers have been stolen,
particularly around the Frodsham and Helsby areas. Also,
electricity cables have been stolen from poles and lead
taken from the Church Hall roof in the Elton area. All these
offences are clearly for ‘scrap’ metal and obviously have a
major impact on public safety. These are not victimless
crimes – the utility companies have to repair the resulting
damage at a cost far in excess of the value of any metal
taken, and these costs are obviously passed on to the
customer – you and me! Offenders will often try to portray
themselves as workmen – please pay attention to any
activity around any such locations – genuine workmen will
usually be clearly identifiable from a well known company
and will have all necessary safety equipment. Offenders
may have a van and high-vis jackets, but will rarely utilise
any safety equipment! Please phone in any suspicious
activity as soon as you see it. Genuine workmen will be
only too pleased about any police attention.
We have had a burglary reported from Church Close,
Frodsham, where offenders have forced a rear window
overnight and stolen a variety of jewellery, cash and
electrical items. The opportunities for offenders will only
increase as the nights draw in and the autumn gales disguise
the sound of prowlers. Please ensure that all locks and
frames are strong and in a good state of repair.
On Monday 17/9/12, a resident of Chester Road, Delamere
saw a silver van, partial registration NC08_ _ _ with ladders
on the roof, drive slowly up her driveway. On seeing the
resident, the van immediately drove off at speed. This was
an isolated rural location, and it is doubtless that the
occupants of the van were up to no good. If you have seen a
similar van, or can assist with the full registration, please
contact the police, as we are very keen to find out what the
van was doing there and ascertain if it may have been
involved in any other offences in the area.
Also overnight on 21/9/12, but this time up in Park Lane,
Frodsham, two houses were burgled by gaining entry
through the rear door. Computer equipment and jewellery
was stolen. Please ensure that all door and window frames
are strong and well fitting, and that locks conform to BS
safety standards – these standards are set because they offer
a good level of security. Inferior locks tend to be weak or do
not protrude sufficiently into the frame, so are easily forced.
Overnight on 29/9/12, a house in Kelsbarrow Way, Kelsall
was broken into. The offenders attempted to gain entry
through the back door, before finally managing to force the
front door. This was clearly a determined effort, and
reinforces the earlier advice about ensuring that all locks
and frames are in good condition.
The first in Oct Sunday into Monday, an address in Ellis
Lane, Frodsham had its shed broken into. A number of
bikes were moved out of the way in order to steal a more
valuable bike! It is quite possible that the offender had seen
the bike being put away and so knew its location. If you
have expensive bikes or other valuable property in your
shed, please make sure that the shed has appropriate
security in place for the value of the contents!
My most common message over recent weeks, is that most
thefts are opportunistic in nature and would be prevented by
sensible precautions and even a modest degree of security
measures!
Please avoid becoming a victim by carrying out a quick
review of your normal security measures.
