Join our online discussion on Rural Crime in Wantage & Faringdon (& surrounding areas) on Thursday 10 May

Join the Wantage and Faringdon Neighbourhood Policing Teams for an online question and answer session between 7pm-8pm on Thursday 10 May.

Thames Valley Police is hosting the webchat, aimed at anyone with interests in Rural matters in Wantage and Faringdon (and surrounding towns and villages) including residents, visitors and workers.

A panel of representatives from the Neighbourhood Team including Sergeant Kevin Hickman will be on hand to take your questions. We are using this opportunity to identify the main concerns of the community and how we can problem solve them and work together on these concerns going forward.

Local residents have requested a message is put out via this email messaging system thanking Jackie, Ian and staff from The Chequers for their recent surprise visits to those of maturing years. One resident sums it all up…….

‘There was a ring on the bell, we were surprised to find ‘the soup angels’ offering us 2 wonderful mugs of steaming hot stilton and leek soup, delicious, so amazing, now we know why we chose Charney Bassett!

Thank you so much’

Due to the weather and road conditions we have decided to postpone today’s (2 March) World Day of Prayer Service.  The Service will be rearranged for a date in the not too distant future.

Message from a Denchworth resident

‘I had a phone call today from a well-spoken man to say that a team would be calling house to house in the next few days from ‘secure homes systems’. He mentioned a number of checks/installations they could do, from intruder alarms to carbon monoxide leakage. He even gave a phone number and a website I haven’t yet searched.

So I rang the police, they said ‘put it out on your neighbourhood watch or equivalent to be careful about callers since they cannot do this.’ (Besides which I’m on telephone preference, so their phone call was itself illegal). They may or may not be criminals, but they’re not very ethical.’
