On Friday 13 November/Saturday 14 November 2009, someone deliberately damaged the new notice board at the Druids Oak play area.
 
This was put up so that residents know what is happening in Quedgeley, but it seems someone has nothing better to do than to damage it.
 
If you are bored, why damage property?

Why not do something useful by helping out in the community?
 
There is now the added expense of getting it repaired.
 
 
If anyone saw anything – or anyone damage the notice board – would you please contact the Parish Office.

The CCTV camera is also being checked.

Severnvale School have given permission for visitors to the firework display to use the school car park.

Signs will be erected to direct visitors accordingly.

Please note that the car park will close promptly at 8:45pm.

…or risk running out of credit.

Residents living in 13,000 Gloucester homes could risk being unable to get credit – because they have not registered to vote.

Apart from being unable to vote at forthcoming elections failing to register also means that people could have trouble opening a bank account, getting a mortgage – or even buying a mobile phone.

Gloucester City Council Chief Executive, Julian Wain, commented:

“ The annual electoral canvas is well under way and three quarters of residents have returned their forms.

There are local elections in May next year and a general election is due before
June. If residents want to be absolutely sure they can vote and take part in the democratic process then they need to be on the electoral register.

Many people also don’t realise the difficulties they could face in obtaining credit. I would urge residents who haven’t yet completed and returned their forms to do so as soon as possible.”

Anyone with a query about registering to vote can contact the electoral registration office on 01452 396396.

There have recently been a number of incidences of street robbery in residential areas throughout the City. The Police are keen to make residents aware so that they can give information that may be beneficial in apprehending this group.

The offenders are a number of males wearing dark clothing, usually hoodies, who travel around on bikes.

Incidents have taken place in Longlevens, Barton and Matson areas and they usually target other smaller groups of youngsters and gain their valuables by use of threat or violence.

Please be vigilant and if you see such a group please contact The Police and pass on the information immediately.
