Scam alert – Indian restaurant loyalty card blag
I have received several reports today from reliable local residents who have been called by an 0121 number by someone claiming to represent an Indian restaurant on the London Road.
They are offering a loyalty card for £25 which would entitle the bearer to free food at the restaurant for a whole year if you pay on your credit card over the phone.
This is obviously a scam. Never give your credit card details over the phone unless you know the company are reputable.
When the resident called the number on their caller display, it returned a number not recognised.
Many of the VOIP ( Voice over Internet Protocol ) services such as Skype and Vonage will display a number such as an 0121 number.
If you think about it, with VOIP and Google Maps it would be easy for overseas criminals to target people in this way.
Should you receive a call like this, please hang up and call the Police non Emergancy number on 101.
Could you be the voice of independence?
Surrey Heath Borough Council has an opportunity for an Independent Person to help maintain high standards of conduct by its elected Councillors and co-opted Members.
The council is developing a new Code of Conduct setting out the key obligations of its elected office. The views of the Independent Person would be sought should a complaint be made that a Member failed to comply with the code. Their views can be sought at any other stage during an investigation, or by a Member against whom an allegation has been made.
The council is looking for someone already involved in the local community, but not politically active within it, and with an interest in Local Government. No professional background is required but it’s important they have the profile and experience the community would recognise and respect in bringing an impartial and informed perspective to the investigation process.
Having experience in interpreting codes of conduct would be an advantage, as would knowledge of Local Government.
To ensure a truly independent voice in the role, the law rules out anyone who currently is, or has been within the last five years, a Member or co-opted Member of Surrey Heath Borough Council or its associated Parish Councils, or a close friend or relative of any of those persons.
This is an unpaid voluntary position, likely to be for an initial one year term, however reasonable travelling and subsistence expenses will be paid.
Applicants who would like to discuss the position informally and confidentially, should call Richard Payne, Monitoring Officer, at Surrey Heath Borough Council, on 01276 707150.
Application forms are available on the website at www.surreyheath.gov.uk/ip or by calling Sarah Lindsay on 01276 707255. The closing date is 20 May 2012 and interviews will be held in the week commencing 28 May 2012.

Entertainment for all at the Surrey Heath Show
One of the borough’s most popular annual events is back for a fifth year! The Surrey Heath Show returns to Frimley Lodge Park next Bank Holiday weekend.
With highlights as varied as dog agility classes, classic cars, a football tournament and the Camberley Youth Wind Orchestra, Surrey Heath Show is sure to have something to interest all the family.
Entry is free and everyone is encouraged to come along and enjoy the wide variety of stalls, games and attractions.
The success of the show last year meant that funds raised helped 14 local organisations including: Camberley Mencap; Camberley Care; KatCanDo; Your Sanctuary and Young Carers Project. All profits made by this year’s show will also be distributed to local charities and community organisations.
Macmillan Cancer Support and the British Heart Foundation (BHF) will be just two of the charities with displays and demonstrations throughout the day, including the BHF hosting a fashion show and giving out tips on how to keep your heart healthy.
Make it a date for your diary – Saturday 5 May between 10am and 4pm at Frimley Lodge Park, Sturt Road, Frimley Green.

Residents might remember my video blog with Anita Blackie from Accent Peerless a few weeks ago where she announced a series of road shows and community clean up days at some of their many locations across the borough.
Friday (27th Jan 2012) was the final event which was held at Suffolk Court at Dettingen Park in Deepcut.
Prior to the event I emailed local residents via the community email distribution lists to inform them of the event but also if anyone was unable to attend to let me have their questions/suggestions which I would pass on to the Accent Peerless team on site. Quite a few suggestions came through which the team were very quick to react too.
While I was at the event the Accent Peerless team and their small army of contractors were busy across Suffolk Court cleaning/tidying communal areas and helping residents clear away any bulky items.
