Survey Awareness Message
Police and Neighbourhood Watch would like to make people aware of the following report on BBC's "Watchdog" programme featured on 4 November 2010 about the following survey that is soon to be sent to over 1 million homes.
N-Power, Unilever and Talk Talk are among the many companies sponsoring a survey that is to be sent out by TNT. They request you fill in a questionaire detailing your personal information and to leave it on your doorstep in an unsealed paper bag for collection the following day.
The questionnaire is five pages long and contains one hundred and eighty six questions about your personal circumstances.
The Information Commissioner's Office has stated that;
"These surveys usually require people to provide a large amount of personal information - ranging from whether they have any outstanding medical conditions, to details of their household income. Anyone approached to fill in one of these surveys should think twice before leaving information like this on their doorstep. They should be aware that anyone could potentially pick it up, opening the way to identity theft. People completing these forms should also understand who will have access to their information and what it will be used for."
More advice and information is available from the Watchdog website link.www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/watchdog/2010/11/tnt_survey.html

potentially give Westerfield a better chance of having Fibre Optic lines vs Copper installed in the village.
Please be aware that there are gangs operating in the area that are removing iron gates from properties. Please make sure that if you have iron gates that they are secure.
There are NHS dentists available in the area. Please contact Carly Wilcock at NHS Suffolk on 01473 770014 for available Dentists.
Received from Peter Ambrose writing of his late father Aubrey Ambrose who lived at Turcoman, Westerfield Road, Westerfield.
I thought you might be interested in a little bit of Westerfield recent history, as
my father was the first person after the Second Wold war to build his own
house singlehandedly. This made news in the national papers as well as the Evening Star, who reported that my father a then 28 year old bricklayer, tired of living in half a council house built the property in 14 months at a cost of £900.00 plus a further £150.00 for the land.
My father died in June 2009 just before his 85th birthday and his ashes are
buried in the churchyard of St Mary Magdalene where his parents are also
buried; he built the house next door to theirs. His wife Doris, my mother, still lives in the house my father built, which is named Turcoman after one of the minesweepers he
served on during the Second World war.
