Broadstone Neighbourhood Watch Since last month, Broadstone Neighbourhood
Watch has funded two very successful bike marking events, one at Broadstone Youth Club and the other at Broadstone Family Fun Day. Between the two events, over 60 bikes were marked and registered, from children’s bikes to electric cycles, trail bikes to mountain bikes. It means that since we started the project in the Spring of 2016, we will have funded kits for over 140 bikes – which is wonderful news.
Whilst the registration will ensure bikes get safely back to their owner – we have already had one case reported by the police in Poole where a bike was returned within 24 hours through checking the register – it is still vital that owners reduce the risk of theft in the fi rst place.
Always lock bikes through the frame and ideally leave it in a visible public place. Remove items of value – including trip computers and helmets – and if you are a cycle commuter, try to vary where you leave your bike. Another tip – given by a former bike thief – is that if you return to your bike and fi nd a puncture, take your bike away as you originally planned, it may have been done deliberately with the thief coming back later. If your bike is left overnight in a shed or garage, make sure you use a heavy-duty lock attached to the
fl oor or by something immovable.
Earlier this year Broadstone Neighbourhood Watch funded groups of children from Broadstone First School, Broadstone Middle School and Springdale First School to visit Safewise, the safety centre in Bournemouth. We hope that this means they will be able to enjoy the beach and the parks more safely over the summer and we are sure that they will be educating their parents – and grandparents – on the various community safety lessons they learned.
As we all head to the beach, remember not to take your valuables with you, and only take as much money as you will need – it’s all too easy for thieves to swipe your bag while you paddle in the sea. We all take our phones with us, and we know how they react to sea water, so consider whether the whole family needs their phones or buddy up with another family on the beach to watch each other’s possessions while you take to the water!

“Really pleased with the work carried out. The fitters were brilliant, taking so much care not to damage plaster work when replacing the bay windows. They were always on time and the quality of finish is excellent. Poole Joinery Windows were not the cheapest out of quotes I obtained from
Checkatrade members to do the work, but the windows and door I had installed are far better than work I have had done by other double glazing companies in the past.“
