HOST an international student
HOST is looking for kind, friendly,
hospitable people of all ages whose
imaginations are caught by the idea of
welcoming an international student at
university here, far from his or her own
family, to their home, for a day, a weekend
or at Christmas. You don’t need to live near
a university, as students will travel for the
privilege of meeting you, learning about
real life in this country, and sharing their
own culture. HOST is a voluntary activity
which makes ambassadors for
international goodwill of us all. Please see
www.hostuk.org or call local organise

Message from
Crime Reduction Officer, Verity Howell
The county of Suffolk has always been a
low crime area and a safe and beautiful
place to live and work.
Suffolk
Constabulary is committed to ensuring it
stays that way. Burglary is one of the most
emotive crimes; we all like to think our
house is the safest place on earth so it can
be very distressing for victims.
Unfortunately throughout the month of
September the area of Babergh West along
with Sudbury and Babergh East has
Highways Working Party Report: On
September 16th, a meeting was held
between members of the Parish Council,
SCC Portfolio Holder Graham Newman, Cllr
David Busby and Steve Merry of Suffolk
Highways. The aim of the meeting was to
discuss the problems caused by the A1071

suffered an increase in these types of
crimes.
If you see any persons or vehicle at a
suspicious location or they just look out
of place, please record the location and
time you see them, a description, including
the registration number of the vehicle, and
telephone the police on 999 if an offence
is occurring there and then, otherwise
please dial 101. Genuine people do not
mind being questioned by police as to their
entitlement to be on the premises. For more
tips on how to protect your home from
burglary, go to the village website.
It is very difficult to plan where the
offender will target next, but the current
properties being predominantly affected
are isolated or secluded premises. Entry
is generally gained from the rear of the
property using force and they are being
committed in the main during day light
hours.
