Walk this Way Health and Fitness project
"Why not get fit whilst enjoying our lovely footpaths and bye ways by using the Walk this Way pedometer. It not only measures your healthy strides but links up online to an array of fitness and well being programmes and advice resources? So forget the TV, get out walking this summer and get fit!" says Parish Council Vice Chairman Ashley Howells.
This project/offer for a web linked pedometer is open and available to
all

Congratulations to VORTEX
The Blore Heath and Folly Wood Action Group sends it heartiest congratulations to Vortex on the occasion of its well-earned victory against Nuon. You won not only for our lovely area of North Staffordshire (and surrounding counties) but also for the UK as a whole. The reservations you raised about wind farms will hopefully lead to a reassessment of Government policy in this area.

Dorothy Clive Gardens say they are very sorry if anyone was disappointed. The adminstrator sadi "I was told to let visitors know that it was flowering, but was unaware of the short life of the lily. Please could you put a note in the next Loggerheads newsletter, the 6ft cactus is still there for visitors to see.
Kind regards, Gwen
Beware FAKE HMRC tax rebate emails.

Latest Trading Standards SCAMS
Burglary Symbols
Following a recent distraction burglary in Stafford two crosses were found
scratched into the brickwork either side of the front door. Intelligence
suggests that this symbol is used by the travelling fraternity to indicate
the house is a good target for burglary. There have also been various
reports of different symbols on other properties across the County.
Download full report including symbols
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Community Alarms Warning
There have been recent reports of a company ‘cold calling’ the elderly to sell alarm packages at a significantly higher cost than the local authority schemes.
There are lots of companies selling personal alarm packages and you are
advised not to buy over the phone or at the door from cold callers.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bogus Callers Alert
As the summer draws on and the current economic climate remains poor there have been increased reports of bogus callers operating across the County.
The reports include both lone and teams of bogus callers gaining access to homes and carrying out distraction burglaries. These callers have told householders a variety of ‘stories’ to gain access such as needing to turn off the water supply, checking the electricity and calling to repair a wheel chair.
Walking For Health
Walk North Staffordshire is a new scheme offering short, regular and local health walks for the people of Newcastle-under-Lyme and Staffordshire Moorlands. The project has attracted over 50 participants in the first three months. Health benefits include weight loss, easier movement and breathing, reduced cholesterol and lower blood pressure.
If you live in North Staffordshire and would like to join or start a health walk in your area contact Shaun Stanley on Tel: 07967662001 or check out the ‘Walking the way to Heath’ walk finder http://www.whi.org.uk/walkfinder/home
