ConnectBus- New booking App
Lincolnshire County Council would like to share some IT development news about the CallConnect services in the Bourne, Stamford, Rutland and Peterborough area.
In 2020 they launched the trial of a new App that allows passengers a new way of booking, tracking and accessing the CallConnect bus service in the Gainsborough area. This App has proved successful and popular.
As the transport App software industry is developing rapidly and they want to be able to contrast and compare new and different apps for their successful and important DRT services so they are pleased to announce a new app – CONNECTBUS – exclusively for passengers in the Bourne, Stamford, Rutland and Peterborough areas
The ConnectBus is a refresh of the CallConnect bus brand to help launch this new app. The ConnectBus app is free and easy to use, passengers simply register on the app and are ready to go! The App and service go live on 15th September and bookings will be available from the 22nd September, 2021.
Letters have been sent to current customers and their dedicated staff have been trained in responding to queries and are ready to give help. If passengers prefer to make bookings by phone, that is still available by calling 0345 263 8153.
There is a dedicated webpages on our Lincsbus website -visit our website www.lincsbus.info/connectbus
If you would like to register to use the ConnectBus App either download the App from Google Play or Apple Store or call the friendly booking team on 0345 263 8153.
Unfortunately we have seen a sharp rise recently in crimes being committed in our rural areas, including rural thefts and burglary other than dwellings.
The offenders are targeting remote locations, looking to break into outbuildings, isolated business premises, as well as targeting diggers, tractors and other plant machinery.
We believe that the primary suspects may be scouting farms and other rural businesses during daylight before returning after dark, therefore please make sure you are reporting information to us.
Investigations are still ongoing with our CID (Criminal Investigation Department), and officers are conducting extra patrols in rural locations all over Melton and Rutland, during the night and daytime.
Please consider reviewing your security and our online crime prevention advice online via the link below:
https://www.leics.police.uk/cp/crime-prevention/
If you see anything out of the ordinary, anything suspicious or that doesn’t feel right, day or night, especially vehicles and any details about that specific vehicle, such as the registrations- then please report it to the Police by calling 101. No matter how small it might seem, it might be vital information that could help us with our investigations.
Please do not hesitate to phone 999 if suspects are on scene, or in any emergency.
If it is not an emergency, you can also provide information to us online via our website:
Thankfully, these types of crimes are rare in Melton and Rutland. Please help us to keep it that way through reporting crimes, reporting suspicious activity and reviewing your security – thank you.
Thank you for your on-going support.
PCSO 6142 Olivia DUTTON

TRO-21-75 Pinfold Lane, South Luffenham
Why has there been delayed bin collections lately?
County Councillor Gale Waller contacted RCC to ask this very question and the response she received is below
“The delays that we are experiencing are due to ongoing issues with staff shortages, vehicle breakdowns (plus the associated shortage of vehicle fitters to carry out maintenance and repairs) and increased amounts of waste and recycling. We are working with Biffa to find solutions to these issues, however there is no quick fix and the disruption is likely to continue for some time. The Road Haulage Association has described the HGV driver shortage was of “catastrophic proportions”. The national driver shortfall is estimated at 70,000. The recruitment of drivers and collection crews is especially difficult in Rutland due to our remote and rural nature. Biffa have invested in a vehicle refurbishment and replacement programme and are also setting up their own driver training centre. Biffa are actively recruiting staff but unfortunately a number of recent recruits have decided the role is not for them because of the levels of concentration needed when driving on tight roads all day long and the physically demanding nature of the job. We are not alone with the problems that we are experiencing, it’s a nationwide issue and many councils around the country have already suspended collections in order to prioritise general waste and recycling.”

Bus Service Information
As you are aware, many national lockdown restrictions have eased as of Monday 17th May. As a result, over the next few weeks bus companies will be monitoring passenger numbers and timetables carefully throughout Lincolnshire in order to update/ change their timetables with the demand of services.
Lincolnshire County Council won’t be updating physical roadside information at stops on the boards until September when services may have settled and we have a better understanding of passenger numbers and how services are affected (the majority of bus stops have a QR code which links to the real-time bus information for that stop). Currently bus operators can change bus service times with just 72 hours’ notice and many are trying to understand service level needs.
Our advice is to keep checking https://lincsbus.info/ for all updates on services, but also local operators websites as many will keep their service information up to date.
Please see link below for a list of recent service updates in May throughout Lincolnshire, some may not apply to you.
https://lincsbus.info/bus-services/lincs-bus-updates/
We hope you are enjoying getting out and about again and spending quality time with Family and friends. We will keep you updated as much as possible through these sites of bus service changes.

The PROTECT YOUR POOCH campaign encourages people to keep their pets SECURE, IN SIGHT and SEARCHABLE, and to HELP MAKE PET THEFT A SPECIFIC CRIMINAL OFFENCE. The Met Police and Crimestoppers are backing our SECURE, IN SIGHT and SEARCHABLE message. More information on the campaign can be found on www.ourwatch.org.uk/protectyourpooch.
You can support the campaign by acting on our advice and sharing our messages in the following ways:

About guest speaker Katy Bourne, PCC for Sussex
Katy Bourne is in her third term as Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) for Sussex. She was first elected in 2012, re-elected in 2016 and again in 2021. The PCC’s role is to hold the Chief Constable to account for the performance of the Force; effectively making the police answerable to the communities they serve.
Katy is responsible for setting the strategic direction and priorities for Sussex Police through the Police & Crime Plan. This includes setting the police budget and local police precept – the amount residents pay for policing in their council tax. She also has a statutory duty to deliver community safety initiatives including Restorative Justice and crime reduction grants, along with commissioning support services for victims of crime.
Her genuine passion and commitment to making a difference has won her praise from successive Home Secretaries and Prime Ministers and in June 2019 she was awarded an OBE in the Queen’s Birthday Honours.

Rutland South Crime report for April 2020
6th – Braunston in Rutland – 2 wrought iron gates stolen from field.
6th -South Luffenham – secure compound breached and 3 x Catalytic convertor stolen from vehicles
8th – Edith Weston – site entered and 2 x theft of outboard motors stolen.
10th – Empingham – gates to rural park damaged after vehicles are locked in After dusk.
11th-20th -Edith Weston – Graffiti to 3 walls on unused airfield
21st – Tinwell – Trailer and 2 Pony traps stolen from outside barn
23rd – Edith Weston – Cement mixer stolen from trailer parked on roadside.
27th – Gretton Rd Lyddington – Unknown suspects have taken all 4 doors off land rover defender vehicle.
27th – A47 roadside café has locked cage forced and 3 x gas bottles stolen.
As part of our ongoing drive to reduce demand did you know that you can report a “NONE EMERGENCY” crime and find lots of useful information on our new improved web site. www.leics.police.uk
Current local priorities:
Theft of catalytic convertors (part of the exhaust system) from certain makes of cars are on the increase due to the increase in the precious metals they contain. Thieves can jack the vehicle up and cut them off in a couple of minutes. They cost hundreds of pounds to replace and will leave you with a heavy expensive bill or excess insurance claim. Marking the catalytic convertor de-value’s it to thieves and makes it more difficult to sell on. Information on the Retainagroup Self-Etching Labels can be found here. (This is just an example other companies are available)
https://www.retainagroup.com/metal-marking.html
Advice:
. TOP TIP – many car dealerships sell locking devices that cover the catalytic convertor to make it time consuming for thieves to steal it. Check with your dealership for more info.
. Wherever possible, park your vehicle in a locked garage, as close to your home as possible or in a parking spot overlooked by neighbours. Avoid parking your vehicle half on the pavement and half on the road, as this makes it easier for thieves to access the catalytic convertor.
. If parking in a carpark, always park alongside other cars and drive into the space as the catalytic convertor is positioned to the front of your vehicle. This will make it harder for thieves to get close enough to steal it. If possible use car parks that are accredited with CCTV.
. Consider installing alarms that activate if the vehicle is lifted or tilted.
As for other vehicle crime, please continue to remove all property – remember ’if you leave it on show it will go’. Look to park your vehicle in a well-lit area, look to manoeuvre your van to make it difficult to open any side or rear doors. Please remember when you park up the perpetrators could be watching you, so remove your valuables out of site prior to arrival.
Along with this the joint Rutland North and Rutland South priority will remain as Rural Crime in relation to Burglaries, car crime and theft from farms. We like to remind you the usual MO is entry via forcing rear garden doors or windows as these areas are isolated and out of sight. Please make sure all doors are locked whether you’re in or not, windows are locked and secure and look at your security measures on any lockups, garages, sheds or outbuilding. If you can make it difficult for anyone to get into the rear garden even better as this is the preferred point of entry for burglars. Preferred items for them to steal is Jewellery and cash so please keep these safe.
A6003 closed at Manton Bridge.
We are aware of the increased traffic through the back roads of Ayston, Ridlington and Brooke along with Manton and Edith Weston that is a concern to residents. Officers are patrolling these areas more and we are talking with RCC and Rail Track as issues arise.
We continue to run a vehicle enforcement campaign throughout Rutland for speed and anti-social driving/riding and have been out in villages and towns with the speed laser gun and have reported a number of drivers.
We will continue to work closely with the local residents and will alert you as soon as crime is reported and ask that if anything suspicious is seen to report through either 999 or 101.

Public information regarding Lincsbus, Lincolnshire Transport Helpline and CallConnect
LCC launch a new Highways Website to aid communication with the public
Highways receive a great number of enquiries about a variety of issues on the road, many of these are around parking, speeding and pedestrian safety.
To help support communities in understanding what solutions are available, a new website has been developed to provide clear and straight forward guidance on the types of options that may be appropriate to address a particular issue as well as the criteria, process involved and potential costs.
This new website has been designed to be easy to use and allow residents and communities to make informed decisions on the most appropriate and effective solutions that would benefit their community.
The information on the website does not yet include all the information we would want to make available to our residents but will continue to be developed and we very much welcome your feedback and suggestions, please email trafficwebsite@gov.uk
The website is ‘Leicestershire Highways A Roads to Zebras’ https://leicestershirehighways.org.uk/. The intention is for this website to eventually include other key functions of the department providing a one-stop shop for road, waste and environment information and guidance.

Neighbourhood Watch Launches Protect Your Car Campaign
Car crime is a real problem in the UK. Alarmingly, one car is stolen every ten minutes.(1) With Covid-19 and the recent lockdowns, many people aren’t driving or checking on their cars as much as they used to. At Neighbourhood Watch, we need your help to remind car owners to remain vigilant about where and how they park their cars, in order to keep them safe.
John Hayward-Cripps, CEO of Neighbourhood Watch Network, says
“Most car crimes happen because cars are left unlocked. There is a misconception that some cars are auto-locking and lock themselves if left unattended after a period of time. This isn’t always correct. Another misconception is that your car is too old and no one will bother stealing it. This is also incorrect – both new and old cars are at risk. Having a car stolen or broken into is more than simply a hassle, it can impact on people’s livelihoods. The good news is that there are simple steps everyone can take to help reduce the risk to their car. With only a 46% recovery rate3 we’re reminding everyone to leave your car locked, lit and empty.”
Remember – Leave your car:
- Locked (2) A simple mistake that can prove calamitous: 44% of cars are broken into via an unlocked door. Leave your car locked video.
- Lit (2) 80% of car crime occurs during the evening or at night. Parking near street lamps or in a busy area can deter thieves. Leave your car lit video.
- Empty (or with no items on show) Owners often forget that personal belongings within the car are at as much risk of being stolen as the car itself. Leave your car empty video.
John Hayward-Cripps continues
“Car thieves are opportunists. Leaving items on a car seat or forgetting to lock your car can act as an invitation for crime. We want to instil the habit of double-checking where and how you’ve parked with our three simple steps: leave it locked, lit and empty. As a local charity with a trusted voice in the community, we’re asking everyone to proactively support their neighbours and friends by sharing our three steps with three others. By spreading the word, we’re confident we can crack down on car crime which can be deeply distressing and debilitating for its victims.”

Warning Issued Following Reports of Telephone Scam Claiming To Be Leics Police
The force is urging people across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland to remain vigilant and be wary of a telephone scam currently in operation.
Six reports have been received in the past week in which a total of £18,000 has been erroneously handed over.
From enquiries carried out so far, many calls follow the below scenario:
A cold call is made to a victim by someone claiming to work with Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC) or national insurance and that information is required to be passed on to the police. The call is then ended
The victim then receives a further call which is shown to be from 0116 222 2222 – which is the main switchboard number for Leicestershire Police. Please note this number is ‘spoofed’ – ie faked. Numbers shown on a caller ID are NOT confirmation or verification of where a call is coming from – the phone is merely displaying what it has been told to say.
A person claiming to be a police officer then speaks to the victim, stating the victim’s details are being used to open a large number of bank accounts. Threatening language may be use and victims have been told they are in trouble and could be arrested or taken to court
The caller then provides a bank account number and asks the victim to transfer money over for ‘safe keeping’
Nicole McIntyre, from the force’s Economic Crime Unit, said: “We will never contact you and ask you to transfer funds.
“Should you receive a call from the force phone number where someone asks you to send money, please hang up immediately.
“You can contact us on 101 should you need to clarify the information. Always leave more than ten seconds between hanging up and dialling out to ensure the original call has terminated.
“Please pass this information on to any friends of family members who may not be aware of this scam or who could be particularly vulnerable to the way these criminals operate. If we work together, we can try and prevent more people from falling victim.”
If you are a victim of this scam – or know someone who has been – please contact us on 101. You can also report incidents online by visiting
https://www.leics.police.uk/ro/report/ocr/af/how-to-report-a-crime/
You should also contact your bank immediately.
You can also make a report to Action Fraud by visiting www.actionfraud.police.uk

IMPORTANT NOTICE IF YOU OWN A LAND ROVER DEFENDER
| Please be mindful of your vehicle security if you own a Land Rover Defender. We have had a number stripped for parts in Rutland and surrounding areas. We are urging owners to take preventative action to mitigate the risk of being targeted.
Think about where you are parking your vehicle- Do you make sure you keep it locked and secure? Does your vehicle have an alarm? Is your vehicle overlooked by CCTV? If you see or hear anything suspicious relating this, then please get in contact with us either on our online reporting tool via the Leicestershire Constabulary Website or 101 in a non-emergency. Please use 999 in an emergency. Stay vigilant! Many Thanks, PCSO 6142 DUTTON. |

Beware – Courier Fraud Scam
| Attached is a leaflet highlighting a fraud / scam that has been targeted towards the elderly community. Please find this on the blue link at the bottom of this message.
Please share this amongst the local community, particularly with any elderly family members, neighbours, friends and anyone who may not use the internet. The more people who are aware of the scam, the less likely they are to become victims to it. **Remember the police will NEVER ask you to hand over sums of cash.** So what is ‘Courier Fraud’? It occurs when a suspect contacts victims by telephone purporting to be a law enforcement official or bank staff. The victim is persuaded to co-operate with an ‘operation’ designed to gather evidence or identify offenders responsible for a fictional offence. Victims are requested to: – Withdraw money from their bank. The Police would NEVER do this. The money or item is then handed over to a ‘courier’ who attends the victim’s address or meets them nearby. If you receive any calls that make you suspicious, you should disconnect the call straightaway and report the incident to the police using another telephone, as on some occasions calls can remain connected. Thank you for reading and sharing.
