Maltby Post Blitz Maltby In the Centenary year of World War 1 we are hoping for the same community spirit shown by Maltby residents in 1914 by helping us Blitz Maltby. On Wednesday 27th August we are asking residents to blitz your street of litter, cans, road side weeds, plastic bottles and to give your street an old fashioned sweep. Local Councillors, members from the Maltby Youth Council, community groups and representatives from local organisations will all be participating. What do we have to do to take part? All you have to do is give the name of your street* to the Town Council and you will be provided with all the black bags that you need to clear the area. The bags will then be collected from the end of your street the same day. If you would like to help make Maltby a cleaner, brighter, place to live and have pride in your surroundings please contact Maltby Town Council on 01709 814060 or email [email protected] to arrange bin bags and collection. For more details please see our website www.maltbytowncouncil.co.uk. *contact details of a resident required.

Show us how creative and how skilful you are at growing, making and baking. There are a lot of talented people in Maltby don't hide Free school lunch for all Infant school children As a child moves through school there are lots of decisions for parents to make, including what their child eats at lunchtime. Rotherham School Meals Service aims to make this decision as easy as possible by providing tasty, nutritious lunches children will enjoy and will help set them up for the rest of the day. To make things even easier, from September 2014, all children in Reception Y1 & Y2 (4 7 years) are entitled to a free school lunch. There has never been a better time to introduce children to the benefits of a tasty, nutritious school lunch. School food in Rotherham has come a long way - and school lunches are now better than ever. Rotherham School Meals Service work hard to promote healthy eating by providing well balanced menus which meet strict national standards making sure children get a tasty, nutritional meal to fuel a day of work and play. Did you know… only 1% of packed lunches meet the nutritional standards that apply to school food? Families could also enjoy savings of up to £360 a year per child if their child takes up a free school lunch. That's a lot of extra money for days out or just helping with the cost of living. Did you know… on average parents spend 150 hours a year preparing packed lunches? This is a universal offer and free school meals are available to all Reception Y1 & Y2 children, regardless of family income. To find out more visit www.rotherham.gov.uk/schoolmeals or call Rotherham School Meals Service on 01709 822312. Calling All Artists and Photographers!

The young volunteers work on Tuesdays and Wednesday evenings. Tuesdays is for Year 7s, and Wednesdays is a special Transitions project for the Year 6 young people (over 60 attend each week) from all the primary schools in Maltby. The young volunteers work as part of the staff team and supervise all the activities and curriculum that we deliver here. They get involved in crafts, physical activities such as crab football and badminton, supervise the Wii or X-Box and run the coffee bar, including the cashing up. They also undergo training and we have covered subjects such as equalities and diversity, confidentiality, risk assessments and safeguarding. There is also a great emphasis on teamwork, and to enhance this the group went on a residential to Crowden together in February and really enjoyed themselves, as well as learning about Fair Trade and developing their communication skills. They say that being a volunteer makes them feel special and valued and that they have learnt a lot about themselves and others. Doing the Autism Awareness curriculum and noticeboard held special significance for the young volunteers, as 3 of the group have autism themselves it has helped to break down stereotypes about the abilities and social skills of young people with autism. www.gdmonline.co.uk I offer a reliable, flexible & Professional Gardening, Handyman, Odd Job & Property Maintenance service for your business & home and services include...

The Chinese believe that gentle exercise which incorporates the mind, breathing and body movement, helps to promote the circulation within the human body to enhance overall health. There are more than 10,000 styles of Qi Gong and more than 200million people practise this worldwide. In the UK Tai Chi Qi gong is recommended by the NHS as studies have demonstrated positive results on a wide range of health problems.

Telephone 01709 814060 or Email [email protected] In recent months, across Rotherham as a whole, we have been a number of garages burgled, with offenders targeting power tools, pedal cycles and fishing tackle in particular, for theft. With this in mind, I thought that I would offer you some tips on enhancing the security of your garage. If you have a garage that is attached to, or close to your home, and you have an intruder alarm fitted to your home, then consider extending the alarm to cover your garage. Battery powered alarms can be sourced for garages in more remote locations, where mains power is not available. There are a number of door security devices made for garages. Visit www.soldsecure.com to see garage security products (and security products in general) which have resisted criminal attack, and which therefore attract Police support. Consider using an indelible marker (permanent ink pen) to write your postcode and house number on tools (hand and power), lawnmowers and the like, that you may store in your garage. Marking these items visibly may make them less attractive to offenders as they are likely to be more difficult to sell to new owners. Consider taking photographs of the contents of your garage. If items then go missing, it's easier to show a photo of them, than to try and describe them. Garage, Garden and House Safety! Consider fastening tools, pedal cycles, lawnmowers and other larger items together using a chain, then securing the chain on to a ground anchor set in to the floor of the garage. Suitable chains and ground anchors can be found on the sold secure website listed earlier. If your garage has a window, first of all determine if you really need it, and if not, brick it up. If you do need a window in your garage, then cover the window with a curtain to deny would be offenders a view of the goods within the garage. Fitting steel grilles, using coach bolts rather than screws, to the outside of garage windows, may also offer a degree of security to the site. If the vehicle access point to your garage is fitted with a pair of double doors, consider coach bolting a length of metal to the door, so that it overlaps and covers the gap between the two doors. This may deny an offender the chance to prise open the doors. Also, use coach bolts to secure your hasp and staple, and hinges, to this type of door and fit a good closed shackle padlock (again see www.soldsecure.com for suggestions here). As summer approaches most of us may well to look to spend more time outdoors in our garden. Or if we stay indoors we might choose to leave windows and doors open to get a cooler breeze blowing through the house. Given our propensity to do both of the afore mentioned at this time of year, it might come as no surprise to hear that sneak in burglaries often increase in number in the Summer months. Listed below are some points to consider, which if followed may reduce the chances of you falling foul of sneak in burglars. If you are going in to the garden and leaving no one in the house, close and secure all the windows, and then secure the house doors before entering the garden. If you are in the house, don't leave windows or external doors open in rooms that are unoccupied. And before leaving a room, ensure that you secure the windows therein. When you are in the house, consider dropping the latch on the door or securing the door with the door chain. Either of these suggestions will allow you an easy way out of the house in an emergency, but will also deny offenders easy access to the house. Fitting a battery operated door chime to your door, will give you an audible warning if the door is opened, and this noise will also startle would be offenders. Don't leave valuable items, such as laptops, smartphones, tablets, car keys, cash or handbags, on open display in unoccupied rooms. Be a good neighbour. Report persons acting suspiciously around neighbours' homes to the Police as soon as possible. If you require further advice on security, please contact the officers in your local Police Safer Neighbourhood team Printed & Published for MALTBY TOWN COUNCIL by COOPER TYPOGRAPHICS TELEPHONE 541449.
