Update save the Teviot Street Reserve
Hi every one
I am getting as many submissions this week to put together a community group submissions
I have about 10 so far if you would like to put your submission in with the community submission, so we can make a bigger impact to the council please drop them of before Thursday to 223 Ettrick street the community submissions will be hand delivered to the council
I will complete a door to door to get the community's feed back for the future of the reserve, its a tick box so about 1 min to complete for any one, this has been put together from the information and ideas put forward at 2 meetings we have already held.
We are organising a community BBQ at the reserve (1 or 2 April not sure what day or time as yet )to get every one together to thank and to update the community, also see what support we will have for the meeting on 4/4/17 at 4pm at the hearing
If your able to help with any thing please let me know, I am forming a committee (as I can't do this all on my own) to help complete all the tasks need to save the reserve and make it a place for the future of our community
If you can drop your submission off to me for the community's joint submission that would be great by this Thursday
223 Ettrick st
Thank you again for your support if you need help with writing your submission please do not hesitate to ask I am happy to help

Six tips for improving security around your home
1) Improve outdoor lighting
Ensure that streets, driveways, and front yards are well-lit. Motion-sensor lights around homes deter trespassers by reducing hiding spots and illuminating their movements.
2) Trim your trees
Overgrown shrubs and trees provide cover for intruders. Keeping them well-trimmed around windows and doors improves visibility and reduces potential hiding spots.
3) Secure Entry Points
Ensure doors, windows, and gates are always closed when you are away from the house. Upgrade to more secure locks, deadbolts, or even smart locks for added protection.
4) Add a security camera
Place security cameras in the main entry points to your home. Doorbell cameras are also relatively cheap and a great way to keep track of who is visiting your home when you aren't there.
5) Start a Neighborhood Watch Program
You could reach out to members on Neighbourly to form a group of neighbors who can regularly keep an eye out for suspicious activity and report it. You could also check with Neighbourhood Support to see what is existing in your area.
6) Introduce yourself to your neighbours
The closer you are to your neighbors, the more likely they’ll notice when something unusual or suspicious is happening around your property
Feel free to share anything that you do around your area to deter crime.
