Perhaps better known as dog roundworm the embryonated eggs of which can be ingested by humans causing disease called toxocariasis. Young children are particularly at risk as it is picked up by ingestion of eggs from infected dog faeces. It is fortunately rare but rare things do happen. Dog mess is not only unpleasant but a potential source of an unpleasant infection.

A resident, upset that there was dog mess present where her children were playing on The Oval, contacted a Parish Councillor recently. There are a number of Poop Scoop bins provided and these are emptied on a regular basis. The vast majority of dog owners conscientiously clean up after their dogs and please continue to be vigilant when walking your dog. If users of The Oval see an infringement it would help if they point out that there are bins provided.

Please see below for latest security advice from PC Paul Le Pla

Most burglaries occur when there is no-one home, so whether you are leaving the house for a few minutes, the day or a fortnight, remember to shut and lock all your windows and doors.

By now most of us are in a habit of making sure windows and doors are closed and locked on our vehicles and houses when we leave them, but in the excitement of going away, we can sometimes forget. If you have locks on your windows and a burglar alarm installed to your property it is important you use them.

It is advised you always try to make your home appear occupied. Here are some steps you can take to ensure this:

Get a friend, neighbour or relative to keep an eye on your house or flat. Even the smallest of jobs such as collecting post from the letterbox, sweeping up leaves, putting dustbins out and even mowing your lawn, can make it seem as though someone is home.
Cancel deliveries of milk and newspapers while you are away, as a clutter of these around your front door, becomes a clear sign that nobody is home.
Invest in some automatic time switches, which switch lights and radios on and off at set times.
Never leave blinds or curtains closed as this makes it obvious the property is empty during the day.
Regards

Just a reminder to let you know that our next film is Room, and as usual it is on the second Wednesday of the month which is July 13th – no more Wimbledon catch-up to watch!

Room has been described as ‘a heartfelt, Golden Globe-winning performance powers this gripping drama’ (Guardian), and ‘it is hard to think of a movie adaptation of a book that feels truer and more loyal to its source than Room’.  You can always check the trailer on our website (Uppinghamfilms.co.uk)

As ever, we will open the Town Hall doors at 7pm for a 7.30 start and tickets will be sold on the door (£5). There will be some home-baking and a warm welcome. Do feel free to bring a bottle and a cushion.  We look forward to seeing you there. (And if you are an enthusiastic local and feel like spending a bit more time in the Town Hall, the Council is looking for a new member – contact the Town Clerk on townclerk@uppinghamtowncouncil.co.uk in the next couple of weeks).

Meantime, enjoy the touch of summer that is creeping in!  Susie

After discussion with the bus company we have decided to change the pick up route in the village.

Due to parked cars etc.. it is very difficult for the bus to drive through the centre of the village.

The pickup points will be 9.15am at Pinfold Close, then then at the bottom of Kings Road.

Please could you let me know where you will be boarding the bus. Ring Evelyn 720528

Many thanks Evelyn
