Ashburnham Triangle Association

Dear all, Following the sad news of the death of the Queen, the country is now in a period of mourning. Her Majesty’s funeral is likely to take place either on the day of our planned street party next weekend or shortly afterwards. In the circumstances I am sure you will understand our decision to cancel the event this year. We shall rearrange the party to take place in 2023. Regards, Roger, ATA Chair

The event starts at 1pm on Saturday 17 September in the play street next to the Ashburnham Arms and there will be something for everyone!  For the kids we shall have a climbing wall, bouncy castle, some magic tricks, face painting and many other activities to keep the youngsters happy.

For keyless cars, consider a Faraday pouch (keeping keys in the microwave will do the same job) Visible deterrents better than nothing – cars are stolen to order or high-end cars are targeted Thieves are more likely to steal cars which do not have deterrents. Videos of individuals trying car doors etc are not always identifiable, but the more information the police have the better and they may be able to identify specific clothing or look for patterns of crime.
