The Mobile Play Project is bringing the Playbus to Whitehawk and Manor Farm this summer.

The bus will be visiting on these dates:

• Thursday 30th July – 2.30pm to 5pm – Coolham Drive near the Crew Club
• Friday 31st July – 2.30pm to 5pm – Coolham Drive near the Crew Club
• Monday 3rd August – 10am to 12 noon – Roundabout Children's Centre, Whitehawk Road
• Monday 10th August – 2.30pm to 5pm – St. Mark's School, Manor Road
• Tuesday 25th August – 10am to 12 noon – Roundabout Children's Centre, Whitehawk Road

The supervised play activities may include games, toys, using play equipment, balls, parachutes, and art materials. The activities are always chosen by the children and some might be messy, so the Mobile Play Team advise that children should wear appropriate clothing.

Whitehawk and Manor Farm residents are invited to have their say about crime and crime prevention at the monthly meetings of the Whitehawk and Manor Farm Crime Prevention Forum/Local Action Team.

The meetings take place on the last Wednesday of each month at 10.30am in the Valley Social Centre, Whitehawk Way. The forum is also surveying residents to ask them what other times and venues might suit them.

Dear all,

The Fire Service provide free Home Safety Visits and will also fit smoke alarms free of charge if required.We particularly want to visit our vulnerable groups within the community,and some of your contacts may know who these groups and people are.This is essential as we recently had a fire death in our area, the person was known to social services but not to us.They did not have a smoke alarm fitted that could have given them an early warning of a fire and may have saved their life.
The contact details for this service are Freephone 0800 177 7069 Kind regards
