MARK FIANDER-LEWIS, our Community Beat Manager at Pewsey Police Station, is moving on. After three "interesting and surprisingly demanding" years at Pewsey, he is handing over to PC Derrick Foord, who Mark describes as a highly experienced police officer who already has a good knowledge of this area of Wiltshire. Mark is proud of the station he is leaving, which is the best-performing police station in the county, with a crime detection rate of close to 40%.
The rest of the staff at Pewsey Police Station remain the same.

CALLING ALL DOG OWNERS! From the Parish Clerk: If you are not a dog owner, please forgive me. At least you will know that your Parish Council is trying to do something about the antisocial practice of not clearing up after a dog which has fouled a footpath or other public right of way! Despite the numerous notices and warnings urging owners to clear up after their dogs there are still far too many occasions when the mess has been left where someone might tread in it. This is not only antisocial but against the law. Recently there has been a case of a dog being allowed to foul right in front of the notice board in Conock. Also one person got half way to clearing up after their dog by collecting the mess in a plastic Supermarket bag only to deposit the bag behind a tree by the entrance into Costers Wood! Finally the lovely grass verge in The Street is not immune to dog fouling either. Kennet District Council supply small green bags, FREE, and I also have a small supply. Those dog owners who do clear up after their pets are being let down by those who do not and they DO NOT LIKE IT! This is a community thing and I would ask that everybody does their best to spread this message to those without access to the web. A notice will also be put on the notice boards.
