DOGS IN ENGLAND MUST BE MICROCHIPPED FROM APRIL

FOCUS Team member Rupert Alexander has become aware that under Government legislation, intended to curb a rise in strays, from April 6 2016 owners need to arrange for their dogs to be microchipped. The procedure involves inserting a sterile chip the size of a grain of rice (which contains the owners’ details) between a dog’s shoulder blades.

To have your dog microchipped contact the council by e mail: dogteam@walthamforest.gov.uk or call 0208 496 3000.

A SAFER CHRISTMAS

A Safer Christmas

 

With the festive season nearly upon us, FOCUS Team member Rupert Alexander comments,

It’s timely to remind ourselves of crime prevention and safety advice if we are at home or away.

 

  • Ask a trusted neighbour or relative to ensure that all mail and leaflets are pushed through your letter box and that wheelie bins are in their usual place after collection
  • Use a timer to switch on lights at different times of the day and night and to switch on the radio
  • Beware of pickpockets on public transport, stores and markets
  • Ensure your bags are zipped up especially backpacks
  • Check on elderly and vulnerable neighbours
  • Lock all doors and windows
  • After Christmas – dispose of cardboard boxes carefully so items bought/ given are not known
  • Mark all new electrical goods with a security marker pen – so if item stolen and recovered, the owner can be traced
  • Have a Safe Christmas and New Year

ANOTHER GARAGE FIRE!

Smoke belching out of fire in garage in an arch under the Gospel Oak – Barking Line

Another blazing inferno took hold in yet another of the garages in the railway arches on the 1st July.

Again this fire belched out acrid smoke and fumes for hours leading to the evacuation of residents in Montague, Harrow and Acacia Roads.

A full train was stuck on the Gospel Oak Line and children were running screaming from Acacia Park in fright as things exploded.

This is the second time in a year that a serious fire has started in the arches, leased out by Network Rail. All the areas around the fires are heavily populated.

This once again shows that Network Rail must re-evaluate the use of their arches and needs to impose stricter conditions on these garages.

Lib Dem campaigner Liz Phillips is contacting the Council asking that they speak to Network Rail about the use of their properties now and in the future. She reports that there are currently 10 car repairers in the arches between Harrow Road and Lansdowne Road.
