Dorset PCC – Community Remedy Consultation

Dear Resident
Dorset Police and Crime Commissioner, Martyn Underhill is today launching a three month consultation to give residents a greater say in how anti-social behaviour and low level crime is dealt with in the county.

The recent Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act places a statutory duty on all PCCs to develop a list of Community Remedies. From this autumn, victims will be able to select the punishment for the offender from a menu of options.

Community Remedies are likely to include measures such as repairing damage to property, cleaning up graffiti or receiving a punishment proportionate to the crime. Victims can also ask the offender direct questions, mediate or receive an apology. By bringing together the offender with the victim of their crime, it’s hoped they will better understand the impact of their actions. Community Remedy is a way of delivering justice without going through the traditional court process.

In addition to the online survey, the Dorset Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner will also be holding a number of focus groups to consult communities on what they’d like to see on the list of Community Remedies.

Please let us know if you would like to attend any of the following events, as space is limited:

A message from Dorset Police

You may well have read in the media about the successful international operation led by the FBI that had taken control of the GameOver Zeus botnet, a network of captured computers used to steal millions of pounds from individuals and small businesses around the world. An infected computer can also suffer a secondary attack by a piece of malware referred to as CryptoLocker which results is a victims files all being encrypted. Once encrypted a message appears seeking payment of a ransom if the user wants to access their files again. This encryption cannot be broken without the password (or key) held by criminals.

Dorset Police is strongly advising computer owners, who may not even realise they have the malware, to take steps now to remove the infection and protect themselves from future attacks. It is estimated that the criminals will probably be up and running again in about two weeks.

Whilst, it is hoped that the owners of infected systems will be advised that they have of the malware by their ISP, Dorset Police strongly recommends that computers users go to:

https://www.cert.gov.uk/resources/alerts/nca-alert-two-week-opportunity-for-uk-to-reduce-threat-from-powerful-computer-attack/

https://www.getsafeonline.org/nca/

and follow the instructions given to check for and remove the malware.

This warning is not intended to cause you panic but we cannot over-stress the importance of taking these steps immediately.

And remember, if you don’t make an effort to clean up malware from your own computer, you may become a victim or at the very least your computer will become part of the problem.

Ask Dorset – Road Shows

Ask Dorset

On 02 June 2014, Dorset County Council is kicking off a series of road shows all around the county inviting the public to come and tell them what they think is most important in the wide range of services they pay for through their Council Tax.

The council doesn’t want to stand still, and is ready to change as a result of listening to local people.

It’s even more important that they listen now, as like all public services Dorset County Council’s budget has been squeezed as part of the national austerity measures. So far the council has worked hard to find these savings and has reduced its overall annual budget by £60 million, whilst having minimal impact on front line services, and needs to save a further £43 million over the next few years.

The county council will though still be spending £250 million a year, so this is a real opportunity to make sure that the money is spent wisely, and to have the greatest positive impact on the things you think are most important, whether that is the state of our roads, running our outdoor education service and libraries, or providing social care services for older people.

We need your help. We need to know what you value the most, what is most
important to you and your family and friends.

You can get involved in lots of different ways:
In person at one of our road shows. Come at meet us, at our road shows you will have the opportunity to talk to your local councillor, a member of our cabinet, our most senior officers or even possibly the chief executive.

You can also get involved online at www.dorsetforyou.com/have-your-say You will also find more information in our newspaper Your Dorset which you will receive in June. Whichever way suits you, we really want to hear from you.

The coming week of roadshows include:

Portland on Tuesday 10 June Easton Square 9.30am-12.30pm
Bridport on Wednesday 11 June Bucky Doo Square at 9.30am-12.30pm
Ferndown on Thursday 12 June Penny’s Walk at 9.30am-12.30pm

The Secret Gardens of Stourpaine – 2014

The Secret Gardens of Stourpaine – 2014
Supported by the Stourpaine Gardening Club

In a few weeks time about 25 gardens in Stourpaine, Dorset will be opened to the general public. This is in order to help raise money for charitable causes such as the Dorset & Somerset Air Ambulance service. An entrance fee of £5 per day will be charged for each day but children will be welcome free of charge.

It is now eleven years since this event was last held and a number of “new” residents to Stourpaine will be joining in by opening their gardens.

The Secret Gardens of Stourpaine will be held over the weekend of the 21st and 22nd June 2014 when all the gardens will be open from 11am to 5pm. Visitors will be able to wander around this lovely village and have the chance to see a wide variety of gardens. Teas will be available on each day.

If you haven’t already made a note in your diary to come along with your family and friends to this wonderful event, then please do and then join us on either or both days!

A sample of what’s in store includes the following descriptions from three of those who will be opening their gardens.

“A garden of approximately 1¼ acres consisting of perennial beds, shrubbery, rose beds and a wild meadow in a woodland area. There are also hot beds with exotic plants which thrive in hot sunny positions as well as a wildlife pond. The vegetable garden consists of three greenhouses and raised beds. The garden faces south west and comprises very open wet soil, composed mainly of clay and chalk. On the south side there is a courtyard garden with a water feature and potted plants. A large wisteria covers the south wall. Beautiful views of the Stour valley can be had from many different levels but these may be difficult for some disabled persons to manage.”

“A Victorian walled garden with magnificent views of Hod Hill and the Stour valley. Set in a third of an acre with an additional third for vegetables and fruit, chickens and pigs. The large sloping lawn is bordered by mixed cottage garden plants, shrubs and trees, a delight at all times of the year – ‘“I retired last year…..to spend my life in the garden!’ ”

“A topiary garden surrounding the cottage opens into a wildlife meadow with stream, at the base of Hod Hill. The gardens have evolved over 40 years, planted and shaped by the present owners, (who happen to be biologists which may explain the several ponds and ‘dinosaur’ hedge). There is a silver/white underlying theme throughout counter pointed with purples/sharp blues at various seasons, and a progressively airy planting linking the formal garden to the meadow, with cow parsley and Crambe leading the eye towards a silver copse underplanted with ramsons, white bluebells, foxgloves, Sibirica iris and white willow herb.
The white comfrey on the curved bank that divides the meadow supports a huge population of Scarlet tiger moths and the tall silver mint is also very insect friendly. On the north bank by the waterfall, giant yellow scabious (Cephalaria) are succeeded by shoulder high Devil’s bit scabious, all abuzz with insects. Wild life abounds from egrets, herons, kingfishers, owls, woodpeckers etc to hedgehogs, shrews, eels, frogs, damsel flies and slow worms”.
