If
one of your New Year resolutions was to get out and be more involved in your
community – then we can’t think of a better place to start than by attending
your local Neighbourhood Watch meetings which are four times a year.
We
have an interesting speaker at every meeting
and you will also get to meet our
Police Liaison Officer Sr Sgt Andrew Lake and our Local Councillor William Owen
Jones along with many of your fellow neighbours.
You
will therefore feel better connected to
your community, make new friends and learn much about local news, developments,
crime figures and more.
Our next get together is on Tues 21st February at 7pm. The venue, as always, is the Oxenford and Coomera Youth and Community Centre. Feel free to come along – no need to RSVP – just turn up.
As the temperatures are warm, the risk of ‘easy pickings’
by offenders will increase, both in homes and cars.
Whether you are at home or not, only leave windows and
doors with security screens open. Sneak thefts always increase over summer as
people try to catch whatever cool breeze is available, and the criminals will
use open doors as invitations.
So we’d like to remind you all to stay safe on our roads. When driving, slow down and drive to the conditions. Plan ahead and ensure you don’t drink and drive – and remember that designated drivers are our modern day heros.
If you’re on a long trip, stop and stretch your legs every 2 hours to avoid fatigue. Always stay focused on the road and don’t get distracted by things in the car. Buckle up on every trip, safely restrain the children in your care and abide by the road rules.
If you do all this and keep your car well maintained you will greatly reduce your chances of being involved in a car accident.
