Can you help?

We are looking for 3-5 Creekmoor residents that would be willing to help out the CCA with the maintenance and admin of the Community Centre, as well as the running of the CCA itself, people who are willing to get involved and commit just a small amount of time to spread the load that currently sits with a very small number of people. Sadly, our previous Treasurer resigned in January, which leaves us looking for a new one - you don't have to be an accountant, just be able to keep records of income and expenditure. There are a number of other jobs that we could use some help with, such as taking bookings, helping prospective hirers, maybe opening up and locking the Centre for events.

If you would like to help, or know more, please email by clicking here.

Just hang up...

On the 19 January 2010 a telephone scam was attempted on a resident in Merley. The offender said they had over paid their council tax and if they paid £39.99 they would receive a substantial rebate. The offenders knew the victims address and bank details. Please be wary of any similar phone calls and report them to Dorset police on 01202 222 222.

Pedalling dope...

Please be aware we are experiencing a high number of thefts of pedal cycles from locked storage areas and underground car parking facilities. Please ensure you have recorded the full details, including the serials numbers and any unusual features or markings on your pedal cycle. Wherever possible photograph your bicycle as a significant number of them are recovered by Police but are not returnable as we have too poor a description on our records. If you require security advice, please contact your Local Safer Neighbourhood Team, or Crime Prevention advisor.

If you have any information regarding this message please call the Dorset
Police on 01202/01305 222222 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Brrrrrrr!!!!

Emergency services are likely to be extremely busy over the next few days due to extreme weather conditions. Do not dial 999 unless it is an emergency. People are also being advised to only visit local A&E departments in an emergency.


Only travel when absolutely necessary. If you have to travel, take sensible footwear, warm clothing, blankets, a shovel, food and water. Ensure you carry details of any recovery agency with you. Also ensure that your vehicle is roadworthy for the conditions - tyres, windscreen washers and wipers, lights, petrol, heater.


If you have elderly or other vulnerable neighbours, please check up on them and make sure that they are keeping warm and are able to have hot drinks and hot meals to ensure that they are kept safe during the severe weather period.
