POLICE PRESENCE: Many people will notice the increased police presence in Pill lately. I've seen a few arrests from my shop window in the last week, the officers are certainly pounding the beat on a regular basis.

Don't forget, you can call in to Citizens Advice in the old Resource Centre, Commercial Road, next to the chemist.

A good team of workers who will do their best to help you solve your problems.

FUNDRAISER: Deb, from Homestart, Commercial Road, is raising money for Breakthrough Breast Cancer for research and education work.

She will be walking the Great Wall of China trek, in memory of her late sister-in-law, Tracey, who died seven years ago, leaving two young sons.

She would have been celebrating her 40th birthday this year.

Anyone who would like to sponsor Deb can telephone 07794 607318.

ATTACK ON COMMUNITY CENTRE: Pill community centre suffered a suspected arson attack lately. What a stupid thing to do! This centre now belongs to our community and the people involved in the centre work very hard to keep it going for the good of the community.

A lot of people will suffer because of a mindless act.
