Suspicious Persons In Maisemore

Two suspicious males were seen in Maisemore on the afternoon of
Saturday 25th July. They were seen in Over Old Road at around 3pm when
they called at a property. They claimed to be lost and requested
directions to Gloucester, however they ignored the directions and went
off in the opposite direction! They were interested in the outbuildings
at that property. One of the males is described as tall, slim and relatively young. He was balding on top. The other wore a baseball cap, had a tattoo on his neck and had a bike with him. A Black Range Rover Sport was seen at the visited property just a short time later. This vehicle could be connected with the two men. There was also a burglary reported in nearby Corse End Road, Hartpury the same afternoon. It is thought that the same two men were again seen in Hiam's Lane, Hartpury, near the water tower at around 1.30pm on 29th July. This time they were with a black BMW car and one was described as wearing a white top, black trousers and aged in his 30’s or 40’s. The other was aged in his 20’s, wore a blue shirt, jeans and a baseball cap. Please keep an eye out for these two men as they may be looking for opportunities to commit crime in the Maisemore and Hartpury areas. Please call 101 if you have any information regarding these incidents and please quote incident number 203 of 29th July. Alternatively report information on line at https://www.gloucestershire. If you see or hear anything suspicious report it straight away to 101 or online and if you believe a crime is being committed then dial 999. You can also report information regarding criminal activity anonymously to Crime Stoppers by ringing 0800 555111. This is the end of the message.

The category recognises excellence in external appearance and internal planning, layout and landscaping, overcoming site constraints and attention to safety, security and accessibility.
Jeremy Drew, design director for Newland Homes, said: "The LABC Awards are a recognition of quality and dedication from the experts in the industry and having won the regional event twice in recent years, we are pleased to be shortlisted again with three impressive developments.
"We think that our homes are some of the best on offer in the region, thanks to the careful design process that goes into every home on every development, as well as considerate approach to building that ensures that an area's history and features are at the forefront to decisions such as the materials we use to build the homes."

There are just two properties remaining at Rectory Gardens, Maisemore - both four-bedroom homes that are ready to move straight into, with Amtico flooring, carpets, lighting and blinds included.

Update on Carriageway resurfacing in Maisemore
Phil Awford, our County Councillor, has provided an update on the road resurfacing in Maisemore - as shown by the line on the map below.
It will also include works around the 30mph gateway at the south end of the village.
These works are now programmed to take place from 2 October 2020.
Prior warning will be given.
Share Scam reported by a villager:
As reported to me:
Scammer rang purporting to be from USA solicitors (Richieson Securities
LLC) handling hostile share takeover and wanting to buy some shares I
had from a company I used to work for. There is a company Richieson
Securities in New York with web page
Conversation to begin with was much as you would expect although strange. However they then said that a Performance Bond would be needed to be raised in which case I would have to pay 20% of shares value and also would need to sign Power of Attorney!!!!!!!!!!
The first loud alarm bell went off ref Performance Bond as I handle that at work and know the ins and outs. No-one in there right sense would agree to anything over 0.05% and I’m certainly not giving anyone Power of Attorney yet!
Telephone numbers scammers are using : +1 716-995-6899 (Buffalo, New York) and 020 7193 7078. Accents are Far Eastern. I have since found on web that the UK number has been flagged up as one scammers are using.
They had my name address and home telephone number from a shareholder list I expect.
I have informed the FCA and the company I have shares with.

Its more likely that homes will now be left unoccupied as people try to catch up with family and missed holidays. If you do go away overnight, please take steps to leave your home secure and give it the appearance of being occupied.

Update on Carriageway resurfacing in Maisemore - SUPERSEDED - see later posting
I chanced upon a highway surveyor at the bridge today and quizzed him on what road works were being undertaken.
He advised that complete resurfacing was being carried out between the Maisemore side of the bridge and the Church Road junction.
He had no idea of time-scale though...
