Yesterday our Community Safety Team and Hart North Police engaged with residents on Yateley Green, around the effect of anti-social behaviours (ASB) in the area. 👮

As well as receiving resident concerns and reports, officers spoke with parents and children alike about the impact of catapults damaging property and wildlife, graffiti, E-scooters and off-road motorbikes damaging The Green.

The team will be at The Green this afternoon from 3pm - 5pm. Stop by if you'd like to raise any concerns around ASB in the area. ✅

You can report ASB in Hart anytime at www.hart.gov.uk/community/community-safety/antisocial-behaviour/report%20anti-social%20behaviour

School drop-off and pick-up times are when air pollution can be at its highest—so even small changes can make a difference! Switching off your engine or choosing to walk, cycle or scoot if you can, all adds up to healthier journeys for Hart’s children https://bit.ly/3MV1kR2

If you rent your home from a housing association and you have more bedrooms than you need, Smart Move can provide support and incentives for you to downsize. 💰 💁

You could reduce bills, move closer to family and facilities or find a home which better meets your health needs. Visit www.hart.gov.uk/smart-move or contact Hart's Housing team to find out more! ✅

Last week we visited Church Crookham Junior School to see how they spent funding they were awarded, through our Countryside Community Grants Scheme. 💰

The pupil request for a quiet downtime area was met through the creation of a sensory garden, filled with a variety of plants and areas to represent each of the seasons. 🌼
It was great to hear from the children about how the space is used - for quiet reflection, a reading space and as an educational link for biodiversity and the natural world. 💚
