Hello neighbours has anyone received a parcel from Dunelm for myself. Evri says delivered @ 12.50pm yesterday 9th Jan. It's been delivered to a white door somewhere. My door is a grey door & we have a camera bell, cannot see any delivery person knock. Evri is a bad delivery company. It's seems there can't read just deliver parcels anywhere & take photos ☹️

Is there anywhere in Rugby taking old Christmas cards, I have tried the supermarkets, WHS and M&S (the last would plant a tree for every 1000 cards collected), all of whom agreed that they used to recycle them but haven't taken them for a good few years. Or is there a school/art/craft/community centre that could use them?

Thank you for choosing Crystal Clean By Chez I look forward to meeting you soon Chez #Thank a neighbour

Water temperatures can be extremely cold in the UK and in winter can plummet to below zero. Here are some top safety tips for keeping safe: • Do not walk or play on ice • Keep your pets away from ice • If your pet enters extremely cold water, do not attempt to rescue them yourself - you could put yourself in danger and they are more likely to rescue themselves • If you go for a walk near cold water, try and go during daylight hours when visibility is good. If not, make sure the route is well lit • Stay away from the water’s edge If you find yourself in the water: • Relax and float on your back to catch your breath • Try to get hold of something that will help you float • Keep calm then call for help or swim for safety if you’re able If you see someone else in the water: • Do not go into the water to rescue them. You could get into trouble yourself • Call 999 and ask for the fire service and be as precise as you can with the location • Tell the struggling person to float on their back in a star shape • Throw something that may help them float – like a branch, an inflatable ball or even a water bottle

In North Shields this week we have started ground investigation works after a report of possible mining related damage to two homes. Due to access issues it was necessary to use a crane to deliver a drilling rig to the back garden of one of the properties so that ground samples can be taken and examined to see if the cause of the damage is due to historical mining in the area. We have also installed monitoring equipment at the properties to provide reassurance to the residents. We would like to thank local residents for their patience and understanding whilst the drilling rig was being delivered. Our Public Safety and Subsidence Team respond to hundreds of similar incidents every year. If you suspect a mining hazard, please contact our 24/7/365 Hazard Line on 0800 288 4242.

10/01/25 14:22 We are currently attending a house fire in Bouverie Road in Hardingstone, Northampton. The road is closed, and we would urge nearby residents to stay away from the area while we are on the scene, and to keep doors and windows shut if affected by the smoke.

With extra lights and heaters in winter, it’s tempting to plug everything in—but overloading sockets is a major fire risk. Use one plug per socket and avoid daisy-chaining extension leads. Use Electrical Safety First socket calculator: https://orlo.uk/G9AAB

🚨 Chimney Fire Safety Alert 🚨 A warm fire is great during these cold months, but do you know how to spot a chimney fire or fire-related problems? 🔥 Here's what to look for and what to do: Signs of a Chimney Fire: - A loud roaring noise, crackling or popping noises from your chimney. - A lot of dense smoke, often accompanied by a burning smell. - Glowing or flickering flames visible at the top of the chimney. - Ash or debris falling into your fireplace or room. - A hot chimney breast or flue pipe, both in the same room as the fire and rooms that the flue passes through. What to Do if You Suspect a Chimney Fire: ✅ Call 999 immediately! Don’t delay – chimney fires can spread rapidly. ✅ Close the doors to the room to contain smoke. ✅ If safe, close the damper or air vents on your stove/fireplace to reduce oxygen. ✅ Get everyone out of the house and stay out until the fire service gives the all-clear. Prevention Tips: ✔️ Have your chimney professionally swept at least once a year (more often if you burn wood regularly). ✔️ Only burn seasoned, dry wood or recommended fuels. ✔️ Never leave a fire unattended or overload your stove/fireplace. ✔️ Check your smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors regularly – they can save lives. Let’s keep our chimneys clean and our homes safe this winter.
