Neighbourhood Watch

Hello All, I trust you are all well and not suffering too much from this heat which reminds me that some of you, even with the obvious difficulties may be considering booking a holiday, so the item from Trading Standards on fake holiday reviews may be of interest to you.

Enjoy your summer but keep safe

    John Sparks,      Palgrave NW rep.

 

Dear resident, 

Following a year of travel bans, quarantine, uncertainty and missed holidays, many of us are desperate to get away for a break, whether it’s a holiday in the sun or a weekend by the sea in the UK. 

But cybercriminals are busy thinking about holidays and travel too ... not taking them but exploiting your desperation for a break, with fake websites, advertisements, emails, social media posts, texts and phone calls for holidays, flights, accommodation or pilgrimages that don’t exist. 

Avoid disappointment and financial losses when booking a trip: start by reading our expert tips on searching and booking holidays and travel safely and securely. Our latest leaflet is attached but if you'd like to read more then visit www.getsafeonline.org

Many thanks
the Get Safe Online team

First, I would like to introduce myself. I am John Sparks and live with my wife at Peartree Cottage, Crossing Road where we have lived for nearly twelve years having moved here to retire originally from the West Midlands (Solihull) in 2008. If you are not familiar with the village you will find it to be very welcoming with lots of events and activities organised by both the Community (www.pdcc.co.uk) and Parish Councils (www.palgrave.onesuffolk.net) each providing excellent communication web sites and the Palgrave Star ( a monthly village booklet). Having served over the years on both organisations I felt duly equipped some years ago to take on the role of Neighbourhood Watch representative for the village which is why I am writing to you. 

In case you are not aware of Neighbourhood Watch UK, it is a partnership where people come together to make their communities safer. It involves the Police, Community Safety departments of local authorities and other voluntary organisations and individuals who want to make their neighbourhoods better places to live. We are split into county regions, and I email to over 200 residents of Palgrave a monthly newsletter (www.suffolknwa.co.uk) plus other information regarding security matters.

If you would like to join ( no cost!), please either email me at johnandbonny@outlook.com or phone (07973 976497) or put a note through my door (address as above).

Keep safe and best wishes,

John Sparks
