Community wardens hold property marking sessions

The Royal Borough's community wardens are once again hosting a series of property marking sessions during February half term (16 - 20 February), as part of their ongoing campaign to help reduce theft, personal robbery and provide community safety advice.

The dates and venues are as follows:

• Wednesday 18 February 9 - 11.30am
  South Ascot Village Primary School, All Souls Road, South Ascot
• Thursday 19 February 11am - 1pm
  Woodlands Park Community Centre, Manifold Way, Waltham Road Maidenhead
• Friday 20 February 1.30 - 3.30pm
  Jenner's café, Ray Mead Road, Maidenhead.

Cllr Colin Rayner, lead member for highways and streetcare, said: "These property marking sessions are always popular with residents who want to make the most of the opportunity to have their personal items marked and protected.

"We all need to do our bit to keep our possessions as safe as possible, and having them property marked is an excellent way to deter the would-be thief."

David Almond, senior community warden, said: "I would like to encourage as many people as possible to come to these sessions to get your mobile phones, iPods, MP3 players or any portable property marked. If you can carry it, bring it along!

"We will be giving out property marking pens and stickers too, so that members of the public can mark other items at home.
"I would also like to remind people that they can register their property with Immobilise, (www.immobilise.com). Immobilise helps UK police forces identify owners of lost and stolen goods and could help police officers return property to owners more easily."
