Message forwarded from Alison Dore CSO Ledbury, 13 July 2005, following the disaster in London. East Anglian Ambulance Service have launched a national "In case of Emergency (ICE)" campaign with the support of Falklands war hero Simon Weston. The idea is that you store the word " I C E " in your mobile phone address book, and against it enter the number of the person you would want to be contacted "In Case of Emergency". In an emergency situation ambulance and hospital staff will then be able to quickly find out who your next of kin are and be able to contact them. It's so simple that everyone can do it. Please do. It really could save your life, or put a loved one's mind at rest. For more than one contact name ICE1, ICE2, ICE3 etc.

At the co-ordinator's meeting in Cradley on Wednesday 26 March 2003 PC Keith Eyles introduced the new Community Support Officer Alison Dore 07970 602338. Calls to the Police on whatever number e.g. 01432 276422 now go to the HQ call centre so make sure you give your location as Cradley in HEREFORDSHIRE. We are looking for more co-ordinators, especially in Storridge, to keep up the good work - the overall reduction in crime may be due to the fact that we make the criminal's life rather difficult round here! Volunteers should contact John Rowe or Keith Eyles. If you wish any incident to be reported on this web site please ask; the Data Protection Act makes it difficult for us to offer the service to individuals. Include the crime number and pictures of stolen items.

April 4th 2002 there was an open evening at Cradley Village Hall to raise interest in Neighbourhood Watch in the village. The meeting started at 7.30 pm. PC Charles NAYLOR, Crime Risk Manager, opened the meeting with a short video and presentation. Current thefts are typically from passing opportunists, in the day-time and from garden sheds. Unexpected 'official' callers are always suspect. The video highlighted several weaknesses, from windows left ajar, keys left in cars 'for a few moments' and jemmy-able windows and kick-inable doors. Deterrants include radio 4, time-switched lights, burglar alarms (even dummies deter) and shed alarms - anything visible to make the opportunist try elsewhere! See the Neighbourhood Watch page for contacts, call if you want advice and an information pack. PC Keith EYLES, our Ledbury Rural Beat Manager, was also present to answer questions.

Some members of NHW have complained that they do not have sight of the Newsletter. The system is that a letter is sent to each Co-ordinator who, after reading it, passes it on to a member of their group who will subsequently pass it to the next. PLEASE pass on the newsletter so that everyone has the opportunity to read it. If you would like your monthly newsletter delivered by eMail please send a request to

IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE MONTHLY NEWSLETTER, PLEASE CONTACT YOUR CO-ORDINATOR OR LEDBURY POLICE STATION.

The outstanding need in the Cradley/Storridge area is for more Neighbourhood Watch schemes, and any support towards increasing the numbers would be greatly beneficial to the residents of the 2 parishes. Please contact John Rowe if you wish to start a scheme on your street!
