If you have received a text apparently from Royal Mail saying you need to pay £2 for a parcel delivery beware it is a SCAM.
Most reputable firms say they will never ask you to give your bank details by email or text.

Warwickshire Police report an increase in the theft of number plates in rural areas. The plates are stolen to hide the true identity of vehicles driving away from petrol stations without paying or to avoid speed cameras or the congestion charge. The police can provide security screws to make the theft more difficult. They can be obtained by emailing: alcesternorth.snt@warwickshire.pnn.police.uk (Source: Warwickshire Police) The Parish Council is currently considering its budget for 2021/22. This is levied as a part of your Council Tax. This year there has been an increase in antisocial behaviour, burglaries and car crime. The Parish Council, along with both the Residents’ Associations, have been working to address these issues. However, schemes such as CCTV, Street watch or ‘My Local Bobby’ cost money. For example, ‘My Local Bobby’ could cost in excess of £27k per year. The Parish Council precept represents a very small part of your Council Tax. An increase to the average for Stratford District would provide an additional £40k to spend on such projects. A camera has already been approved for the bottom of Malthouse Lane in Earlswood and to put additional places like Valley Road would cost even more. A Parish Council working party is exploring this and other initiatives in and around Tanworth. The Parish Council would like to hear what you think of such a proposal. Please contact the parish office preferably via email – office@tanworth-pc.org.uk or in writing to: The Clerk Tanworth in Arden Parish Council r/o Earlswood Village Hal Shutt Lane, Earlswood, B94 6BZ.

Dave Burgess has been elected the new Chair and Tom Ross and Leila Chaudry the joint Vice Chairs. Tom Ross has said he does not intend to serve a full term. The outgoing Chair Roy Willmott will continue as a Councillor. (Source: Tanworth Parish Council) Sadly, there are always people who try to make money from the misfortunes of others. The Coronavirus crisis has produced a series of emails that purport to come from HM Government. They do not. Be very careful of any emails that offer money or help from a source that you do not know. If things seem to be too good to be true, they usually are. (Source: Warwickshire Police) Sadly, Network Rail does not get any awards for the state of the railway bridge over Tom Hill. Considering that this is one of the main approaches to the Conservation Area for residents and visitors alike Network Rail has consistently refused to re-paint the bridge. The situation has been made worse by the graffiti added recently.

The aim is to thank and reward those people volunteering in Tanworth who deserve recognition for community activity, environmental achievements or in some other way contribute to the life of the Parish. There will be two categories: Individual and Non-Profit Organisation or Voluntary Group. All nominations will be judged using the following criteria. Nominations do not need to meet all the criteria: each nomination will be judged on its individual merit. Nominations must be received by 10 April 2020. Presentations of awards will take place at the Parish Assembly to be held at Tanworth Village Hall on Wednesday 22 April 2020. For details of the Rules and nomination forms see website at www.tanworth-pc.org.uk.

Sadly, their geographical skills are somewhat lacking in terms of the destinations of Platforms 1 and 2 at Danzey. Platform 1 is actually for Stratford upon Avon and Platform 2 is for Birmingham.   Warwickshire Highways have now installed a new lamp post in the passageway between Bellfield and Doctor’s Close. It is hoped that adjustments can be made to the new generation LED lantern to shed more light down the passageway itself. Tanworth Parish Council, which is responsible for footpath lighting, agreed to fund the new light at its meeting on Thursday 21 November. This followed representations by several residents that children were going to and from school in the dark. (Source: Tanworth Parish Council)  Earlswood, in particular, has been plagued for some time by anti-social behaviour around The Lakes. Often drugs are involved. Tanworth Parish Council and Earlswood Residents Association have lobbied Warwickshire Police to take action for some time. Recently they have discovered that sometimes residents have reported a problem but it has not been logged by the police. The Parish Council, therefore, asks residents, when they have called 101 or otherwise notified the police about anti-social behaviour anywhere in the parish that they should also let the Parish Council know so it can ensure that the complaint is logged and followed up. Please telephone 703200 or email: office@tanworth-pc.org.uk. (Source: Tanworth Parish Council)
