The lockdown has unfortunately seen a rise in rural crime across the County. The rise was driven by thefts of high-value tractors, quad bikes and other farm vehicles. Livestock theft and theft from isolated properties has also increased.
Richard Huffer, Lib Dem Councillor and Farmer said " I really would urge residents to take measures to prevent their property being stolen, especially if you live in an isolated property. As well as taking conventional measures such as locks on doors and windows, residents should consider using smart water on smaller items of value and fitting trackers on larger ones like quad bikes.
"What is new is that we are getting several reports of thefts of dogs especially pedigree dogs so make sure your pets are securely housed too"

Councilors in the West of the County have revamped their community e-bulletin in response to second wave of infections hitting the County

Cllr Heather Kidd said: "In March with the full lockdown we began sending out E-Bulletins with useful advice and updates on COVID regulations, help available in the community and a whole host of other items. These were sent out around every 10 days on email and on Facebook. They were well-read, and feedback was good. Paper versions were available in some shops."
