Several weeks ago two residents in the Ashmeads area suffered some unfortunate damage to their front door. A stone was thrown and broke the double glazing. Colehill SNT have identified the young man responsible and he has apologised to the victims and repaid them for the damage caused. This was accomplished through a restorative justice conference, facilitated by PCSO Matt Johnson.

Anita Rigler has left the Police service, for pastures new. We wish her well. She says: “I have to say that is has not only been a pleasure working with you all but an absolute privilage. I like to think our joint, considerable effort over the past 14 years has made a substantial difference to the lives of our members and for some parts of Dorset being the safest place in the country.” We would like to thank her for her tireless support of all things ‘Home Watch’.
