FAO: LOCAL COUNCIL CLERKS IN THE CHESHIRE WEST AND CHESTER
AREA
As you may
be aware, the next Census will be taking place in 2011. The Office
for National Statistics (ONS) had developed a programme of work
leading up to this including a large scale exercise to check postal
addresses up and down the country. This is because next April, the
majority of people will be sent their Census form via Royal Mail and
it is important that the address list is as accurate as possible, so
that every household receives a form.
The
Council's Research, Intelligence & Consultation Manager recently
received a courtesy call from the 'Census Address Co-ordinator' for
our area. From 7th May, teams
from ONS will be walking around local streets in the Borough,
checking that lists of postal addresses match what is actually there
on the ground. They may also knock on a few doors and
speak to residents, just to confirm address details.
From 21st
May, ONS will start to check addresses of communal establishments,
such as care homes. Again, they may knock on a few doors.
They don’t
expect any issues, but were just making us aware in case we receive
calls from residents about the work.
If you
have any queries, please contact:

3rd November 2009
FOUND:
BRACELET.
The morning after Halloween I found a bracelet outside our front door (34 Greenlands), presumably dropped by one of the trick-or-treaters who visited the night before. The last callers were a group of about 6 teenage girls, so it probably belongs to one of them. It doesn't look particularly valuable but it may have sentimental value to the owner. Paul Bevan.

Tourist Terrorism Lock Poster CMYK Cash Machine Scam Although we have had no recent reports of incidents of cash machine scams in Chester, the following is useful advice in connection with the attached warning and good practise when operating cash machines. Also in general look for any tampering with the immediate area surrounding the slot area (eg added fake card slot) The way to avoid this (see attachment describing ATM scam) is to run your finger along the card slot before you put your card in. the sleeve loop has a couple of tiny prongs that the thieves need to get the sleeve/ loop out of the slot and you will be able to feel them. There are a variety of crimes involving ATM machines, ranging from slight of hand, misdirection, harassment to armed robbery. High-tech or no-tech, some people will stop at nothing to separate you from your hard-earned cash. You can keep yourself and your savings safe by exercising some common sense at the cash machine: · Avoid ATMs in poorly lit areas.· Avoid ATMs in confined spaces that maymake it easy for a criminal to corner you. · Always shield your hands from prying eyeswhile entering your PIN. · Don't allow others to distract you from thetask at hand. · Avoid lingerers. If people insist on hangingaround while you use the machine, cancel your transaction and go somewhere else. · Never give your PIN to anyone, in personor over the phone.

card scams from one Please do not be taken in by the fact that scams have not been reported. Before Christmas I was put to some considerable trouble when it turned out that my bank card had been cloned and was being used to draw money in Germany. The only place I had used it was in Chester but nothing was reported because it only came to light days or even weeks after it had been copied - I didn't know where the crime had taken place and once the money was paid back into my account the only loser was the bank and they dealt with the matter in their own way. I don't suppose they want to draw too much attention to the matter and in any case they are not based in Chester so probably wouldn't report it in Chester anyway. Fraud against banks is not recorded in the crime statistics that we see in chester as it is not against a person or their private property. I was told (when speaking to the bank about my case) that they were overwhelmed with the paperwork that results from such crimes. There is a lot of it about and you should all be VERY careful! Two messages from our local PC Tony Owens. Tel 084586377 to leave a
