There have been a number of drone sightings this week in people's gardens in Grove Park, part of which backs on to Copleston Rd. You need to report it to the police, who seem to be taking it quite seriously. They say to keep anything informative (documents, cards etc) or valuable away from windows, close all windows when you go out leave shutters partially open as closed makes it look like you are out, They even said to keep doors secured even when at home. The seen in Grove Park is reckoned by someone who is familiar with them to be quite a good one, which he would have expected to cost between ? 800 and .?1000.

This is a great shop and social enterprise, and huge community asset. I do all my dry goods and cleaning materials shopping there. The stuff is very high quality, and all organic unless labelled otherwise. I've learnt so much from the people working there, their newsletters and Instagram, and even been influenced in the way I renovated my house. (The interior of that beautiful shop was built of things mainly bought second hand off this forum.) Please don't let it go down!
