Good Afternoon from PC Karla Bullimore from the Grantham North Rural Neighbourhood Policing Team.  This is a message for farmwatch.  There have been a few hay / straw stacks set alight on our patch in varying locations such as Westborough and Hougham through to Barkston Heath.  We are patrolling the area looking out for suspicious persons and vehicles, however we need your help at times when we are not there or not available.  If you see any suspicious activity on or around your land or vehicles driving slowly past straw bales, please contact Lincolnshire Police on either the non-emergency number 0300 111 0300 or for urgent calls 999.  We need vehicle details in order to help locate the offender(s).  Thank you

Village adverts

Can I just recommend

They are cheap and compare prices of the oil companies locally and get a better deal than from the local suppliers individually. If more people order from them in the area the price comes down even further.

 


Ideas for or information about the village website, contact me through the link at the bottom of the page.

I am going to offer personal email addresses with money to the village church for example name@hougham.info or business@hougham.info

I am also open to placing adverts for local business on the website as well for a small fee - church and village funds
