Suspicious Callers in the area

On 18/10/10 Two males were knocking on doors in the Basingstoke rural area  claiming to be from Southern Electric.

They were offering what they said was a new service to Southern Electric key meter customers  and asked a resident for money at the door so they could top up her meter.

This isn't a service that Southern Electricity provide and they are aware that bogus cold callers have been in the area recently.

1st Male: White male in his 20's, wearing black trousers, black fleece, short/shaved hair.

2nd Male: White male in his 40's, Brown Hair going grey in a side parting style, wearing grey suit, white shirt, red tie.

Both males were carrying black clip boards.

They got into a new looking small silver car - no further details. 

Please be mindful of this as they do travel the County and report any  such 'visits' to Police asap.

Noah's Ark re-creation. Does this guy know something we don't?

A letter from Hampshire County Council ...

23^rd Oct 2010

Dear Councillors,

Further to the government’s public spending review, and the impact which it will have on public sector funding, it has been decided by the Director of Environment that it would be advantageous in extending the current bus contracts for the Black Water Valley from April 2011 until October 2011, when the Council will have a clearer understanding of the budget implications and would ideally be better placed to tender your local bus services.

Thank you for all your comments received via the questionnaires and this information will be used in due course when we issue tenders in this area.

Burning butts make burning bins - extinguish before you bin it

Last night  Thursday 21/10/10 , some time between 9pm and 9.47pm an unknown person has set fire to a wheelie bin outside a house in Abbey way in Farnborough.

A passing motorist stopped and alerted the householder and fortunately no one was hurt.

PLEASE if anyone has witnessed this incident by seeing someone  recklessly throwing away a cigarette can you let me know.
