I’ve had a couple of conversations with NWG coordinators about insurance. So I thought I’d explain things here… Why insurance? Any group – Neighbourhood Watch, social groups etc – should really have Public Liability insurance in place as a minimum – just in case. If you’re renting a room for a meeting and someone trips […]
Good morning, Having made contact with several co-ordinators and others who use social media like DN post code community Facebook pages since my first warning mail, it is evident that people still believe that putting information onto the Facebook pages alone will make the police react and investigate their problems. This is a misconception, as […]
Another beast from the East over the next few days. Do you know anyone in your road / street / avenue / flat complex that may be struggling to heat their home, or having problems juggling heating costs vs food on the table? Have all of the elder members around your life remembered to apply […]

Recent results, as seen on Look North, are encouraging, but before we all book our holidays, pub trips and house parties, please take a breath, and remember that we all need to stay vigilant and careful until the cases are down to zero. East Lindsey, which is one of our nearest area borders, have recently […]
I casually pulled a takeaway leaflet out of the front door this morning, after watching someone unknown walk up our driveway to put it in the door, and then thought twice about what I had just done. Thought – I don’t know this person. I didn’t see any ppe, gloves etc., or know how the […]

Good morning, I have been asked to put this survey request up on the site in regards to how any health service contact could have affected you, either good or bad, during the last few months.

Karl will again fully update the scam on Friday, but police have warned of a new text / social media ciontact being made with a VERY genuine looking attachment page which looks very realistic as if from the NHS. It tells you that you are now in line for the jab and to accept or […]
I am starting to hear local cases of dog walkers being followed and being asked questions about their dogs while out walking, even some people trying to snatch dogs from gardens while dogs are out doing their business. Recent national scam protection TV programmes are suggesting that drug dealers are using some of their ill […]
Today’s neighbour thought is sparked by looking out at horrible inclement wet rainy weather with wind and cold all around us.

Thank you, BBC 2 !
Why am I thanking the Beeb? Easy – Education programmes in the early afternoon that are too good just for children learning on line. Coming from a grim mortarboarded teacher background at my grammar school over 50 years ago, how much more could I have learnt and absorbed, given more modern ways to visually show […]
