Members of the Parish Council visited New Earswick Primary School
on Friday, 27 May to present Commemorative Jubilee Mugs to all the
pupils. Pictured (above) are four Councillors before meeting
with the 215 children who attend the school, to distribute the gifts
in recognition of the Queen's Platinum Jubilee.
Catalytic converter thefts...
Honda Jazz / Toyota Prius / Toyota Auris / Mazda 6
Catalytic converters are fitted in vehicle exhausts to reduce toxic
gases and pollutants. While there is a legitimate market for
second-hand catalytic converters, criminals target them for the
scrap value of the precious metals found inside. In some cases,
thieves cut them from the exhausts of parked vehicles, and sell them
on. Hybrid vehicles whose catalytic converters tend to contain more
precious metals and 4x4s whose higher chassis make them more
vulnerable are particularly at risk.
Owners are urged to take extra precautions to protect
their vehicles:
1. Park your car in a locked
garage where possible, or a well-lit and populated area
2. Park
close to fences, walls or a kerb, or alongside other vehicles, to
make theft more difficult. Avoid parking half on the pavement and
half on the road, as this may make it easier for thieves to access
the catalytic converter
3. If there is a fleet of vehicles, park
the low-clearance vehicles to block the high-clearance vehicles and
obstruct access underneath
4. Ask your local garage about
security measures such as a cage device to lock around the
converter, a tilt sensor to activate an alarm if the vehicle is
jacked up, or equipment to etch a serial number on the converter
itself.
The average cost for the replacement is £1000+ and
the time the vehicle is off the road waiting for parts to arrive is
causing a lot of hardship, so I would appreciate it if you could
help.

The vast majority of people walking their dogs in New Earswick
are responsible owners, who clean up after their pets. A big thank
you to you all.
Unfortunately a small number of owners still
think someone else will deal with the mess for them. Please be aware
that City of York Enforcement Officers are now visiting problem
areas on a regular basis. Offenders may be prosecuted.
The Defibrillator is located on the external wall at the Doctor's
Surgery at the top of the Folk Hall car park off Hawthorn Terrace.
If you ever ring 999 for assistance for a heart attack, the
operator will know we have a community defibrillator and they will
inform you of this, where it is and the code to release the
defibrillator from the cabinet. The operator will stay on the phone
with you until the ambulance crew arrive. Once the defibrillator is
turned on it will give you verbal instructions on how to use it.
