Rooksbridge Safe Crossing appeal and petition
Please can you promote this appeal wherever you can.
Thanks
Chris Crook
07966 551074 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A charity has been set up in memory of Gordon
Ireland who was knocked down and killed on the A38 in Rooksbridge. The main intention of this charity is to raise funds towards, or
perhaps totally for, the introduction of a pelican crossing in the heart of the
village.
On Friday July 4th
we (Paul Ireland and Chris Crook from the Chantry) and a group of
supporters delivered a
petition to the Highways Department at County Hall in Taunton (hopefully you
will have seen and signed it).
This should give us some helpful publicity to this
cause and most notably, will be 6 months to the day that Gordon (from the Chantry in Rooksbridge) was so tragically killed. It is absolutely vital that
we get this campaign off the ground for the safety of our residents, the
children of the village and of course in respectful memory of one of our
residents, who is so sadly missed by his wife Pat and her family and friends.
Please contact Chris Crook on
chrcr38@aol.com or phone 07966 551074 for more information
Our
village needs your support, please come along and support this very worthy cause
and have some ‘good exercise’ in the process!

Beware!
Beware
of man in a van selling generators!
We are just
over the other side of the M5 in Edingworth. Just thought you might put a
warning on the site about a white Mercedes Sprinter that is stopping at
people’s houses trying to sell generators at a knock down price. It has
Irish number plates and the guy is in his 60’s with grey hair and bald on
top, fairly stockily built and Irish accent. I caught him having a good look
round our place but the dogs stopped him coming in and he got quite abusive
about them before driving off. The police are aware and have had complaints
about him as far down as Taunton.
Many thanks Brett

There have been a number of break-ins and thefts recently in
our patch!
Unattended commercial premises, older vehicles
without alarm systems and Power Tools, seem to have been the main targets, on and near the A 38
from Rooksbridge to Weare.
One address was entered via a 1st floor window, using an old
ladder that had been left lying about.
Older vehicles are targeted by these villains because they are
easier to enter. Some have been found burnt out.
Unattended premises over the Bank Holidays appear to be
popular targets?
The driver of a small white van has recently been seen acting
a bit suspiciously in the Chantry area. Mainly between 7 and 8 am?
Please be vigilant and report any suspicious activity to 'Crimestoppers'
(And lock that ladder away)!!
Great
News!!!
