I get too many “alerts” to pass on but I know a lot of people use the Booking.com site so I thought I’d pass this one on to everyone.
Their summary is as follows :

Those using the platform Booking.com to book their holidays or accommodation are being warned they could be targeted with emails or messages requesting payments from hotels who have had their account taken over by fraudsters. Between June 2023 and September 2024, Action Fraud received 532 reports from individuals, with a total of £370,000 lost.

The PC is consulting residents on anti-speeding measures.  Please see the PC website (www.hankerton-pc.gov.uk ) where there is a tab with all the details.

The annual Carol Service is in the church on Sunday.

There will be a small choir and, as a special extra this year, we have a professional saxophonist called Christopher, who will make a welcoming sound as you arrive and play a solo during the service.

At the end of the service, there will be our usual mulled wine and mince pies. We look forward to seeing lots of villagers of all ages.

The church will be warm🔥.

• The Hankerton PC website has a new website name – www.hankerton-pc.gov.uk, effective now.
• I recommend that all residents ‘follow’ the website.  You will not be plagued with a mass of messages – I produce very few – but even if you really don’t want to know anything about what the PC are going to discuss at the bi-monthly PC meetings, at least you might like to know when planning applications affecting the village or parish  are published.
  • For example, I’ve just published a notice of the planning application just arrived about Plot 11 Follyfield.
• If you have received my news about Plot 11 Follyfield, you are signed up to receive the alerts – excellent.  If you haven’t received it, that means you are not signed up to the new website.  If you would like to receive notices about new planning applications, log onto the website and click the blue button on the right hand side that reads ‘Sign up to our email alerts’.
