Good Morning Whiteley,

🍎 Back to School Week

As children return to school and settle back into their routines, let's all play our part in keeping our communities safe.

Whether you're driving, cycling or walking, a little extra care around schools, crossings and residential roads can make a big difference.

Please slow down, stay alert and be mindful that younger children may be excited, distracted or unfamiliar with their new journey to school.

Let's make this school year a safe and positive start for everyone.

🚸 Slow down. Stay alert. Keep our children safe.

Stay Safe

What a summer! ☀️
Our 2026 Summer of Social programme brought the community together through 18 free events and activities, welcoming over 900 attendees throughout August. From Fun Day Mondays and Food Truck Fridays to the Solar Eclipse Night, which attracted 162 people and gained BBC and Portsmouth News coverage, it was fantastic to see so many residents enjoying Barn Farm and connecting with one another.
A huge thank you to everyone who attended, volunteered, partnered with us, and helped make this year's programme such a success. It's wonderful to see our events continuing to attract new faces and generate such positive word-of-mouth across the area.

Also a BIG THANK YOU to Leo one of our local residents and regular at the Community Centre for chasing it down the road and being our very own Super Hero 🦸‍♂️

There has been a spate of reported theft from motor vehicles in the Wi******er Greater area within the last 24 hours and officers would like to remind residents of some crime prevention advice.

Yesterday, 25 August, we received four reports in the Curbridge and Whiteley area believed to have happened overnight. One of the reports was of a group of three people trying car door handles on Campion Road.

We are investigating these reports and following lines of enquiry to locate those responsible.

Theft from motor vehicles are often opportunistic and offenders, hoping that the vehicle is unlocked, will try door handles. Please remain vigilant, ensure all doors are locked and that you do not leave valuables inside your vehicles.

Your mobile phone, coins for the car park, sunglasses, packs of medication or other items that can earn quick cash are irresistible to the opportunist thief.

Make sure to physically check that doors and window are locked, especially if you have used the remote to lock the vehicle, then look inside again to make sure you’ve not left anything on display, including ensuring that your glove box is closed.

Vans are often targeted by thieves for the tools stored inside. If you have to leave tools in a van overnight, it's a good idea to mark them clearly with your name / company name and address using paint pens and seal with a clear lacquer spray. Items that are clearly marked are less desirable and more difficult to sell on.

Consider using a lockable cabinet within your van to store tools – a number of security rated products are available. Small cameras are also designed to record inside vehicles. Visit Secured by Design for more details.

You can also take photographs of items of value, make a note of the serial numbers and consider registering them online at a property register site.

Further information and advice on how to keep your vehicle secure can be found on our website: https://orlo.uk/t4DH6

If you witness any suspicious behaviour, or if you have been a victim, please contact police on 101 or on our website: https://orlo.uk/NC8NA
