What else needs fixing in Holdingham?

On the theme of Holdingham and how it fares - compared to other areas - is the messages passed to Police, NK or Town. I always find the fix it web-site sueful - even if many problems, or favourable comments, are not posted on it! Fix my street!! Litter is one concern - but there are many more.

See what you think! Use it to send your own consers if applicable!

What will Holdingham get out of the County Elections?

Add caption

Update: Nice to see letters/comments in the local news about the 230 homes etc. The other issue is "what happens when/if it extends to Pride Parkway and East Road?).

----------------------------------------------------------------------
With the County Council elections coming up - one thing is certain for Holdingham - we will be getting a new County Councillor!

Now for a start we do not have a proper Community Centre: both physically as a building but maybe even a centre to our community!

This at a time when we are expanding (at least the plans have been passed) and it would be nice if someone would talk the talk on this one.  Other things spring to mind including speeding traffic and easy (not) of getting across the road to the shops and stores! Also our infrastructure is creaking and drainage etc is struggling in some parts, and may do even more, as the area expands!

Hoax Dog Calls

There appears to be some confusion over the Dog missing calls. Some obviously may be correct but it appears some, many, are hoaxes.

We are currently receiving enquiries - from worried members of the public regarding a hoax being circulated in regards to pets and in particular dogs that are being targeted by criminals to steal to order.  The hoax states that stickers are placed at the owners property to show what type of dog can be found there.


Please rest assured that this is NOT being reported in Lincolnshire, although OCCASIONALLY we do have the task of recovering one or two stolen pets.
If you would like to check the following Website www.doglost.co.uk  you can see across England how many pets are currently being reported as lost or stolen.
Doglost also has the facility to register your pets so that they can search their data base immediately, should you dog become lost or stolen.
The top tips in security of your pet are:

Microchip your pets as soon as you become the owner.

 Keep up to date photos of your pet as they age.

Never leave your pet outside unattended.

Teach your dog to come to call, if you regularly walk them in large open spaces, so you can retrieve them quickly if you notice anyone taking an interest in your dog.

Thank you for your continued support.   

Horses on the Loose!

Update: You will be pleased to hear that they have been found!!

See the message below. Should be easy to see if they are still around the district!

Holdingham Area 

I am reminded by the PCSO's of the use of the 101 line when reporting non-emergency problems. 

This the message I have received:

" If you can encourage any residents who are experiencing problems to contact the non-emergency number 101 to report when the persons are at the bus shelter, so that officers are able to deal with the persons promptly."

Hope this helps! By the way, incidents have been reported this last week at the following locations (in addition to problems at the Holdingham Mead Bus Shelter):
