Remembrance Day 2020

Due to the pandemic our usual Remembrance Service had to be limited to only key figures unfortunately. We wanted to share how we marked the day with you all, and here are some photographs from the service.
Lest we forget.

Cheer For Hero’s

Cheer For Hero’s
 
Join with us, on Sunday 8th November your own street, for the Cheer for Heroes at 11am that day. Due to the Pandemic we cannot mark Remembrance day as we normally would unfortunately.
So rather like the Clap for Carers earlier in the year, simply come out onto your doorstep or street with your neighbours, and…
1. Listen for the Last Post, sounded from Chapeltown Park
2. Keep 1 minute’s silence, then
3. Cheer three times, (‘hip hip, hurray’) or make a loud noise, to give thanks for our heroes.

Community Hub – SYP Information

After taking part in a Community Hub yesterday via zoom, we talked about anti-social behaviour with one of our local PCSO’s. One of the main problems highlighted was the use of off road bikes in an anti-soical manner.
There is now a dedicated facebook page for reporting issues with off road bikes which can be found here:
South Yorksire Police also have a dedicated website where you can report non-urgent crimes.
Alternatively for non-urgent police enquiries you can call 101 or in an emergency always call 999.
Please feel free to share.
