Click here for minutes from this evenings PACT meeting at Upton
12/08/2010.
It seems that summer is already over but for some reason we have had quite a few sheds broken into in your area. If you do have anything of value then please secure your property inside your shed but then make sure your shed is secure.
One tip for you DIY fans is to put the hinges on the inside and a good lock through a keyhole to keep your property good and safe.
Enjoy the rest of ?summer? and keep safe.
