Hapton Community Area
The Parish Council have upgraded the security of the area with better cameras due to the continued vandalism and other issues that are happening and these are very disconcerting and its a wonder why Parish Councils are loathed to provide social areas for all to enjoy.
The area is also subject to a Public Space Protection order and people walking their dogs (yes we have the video of this) will be reported and subject of a £1000 fine which SNDC will enforce with the council ensuring all videos of the offenders are submitted for these penalties to be administered.
Scam Emails
The Parish Council urges everyone to be aware that scam emails are again doing the rounds and that if you do not recognise the email address to delete straight away or if unsure please contact the clerk on the parish email address for assistance
