Warning from Scunthorpe Community Policing Team. Please warn others, not on Facebook.

We’ve had reports today of two men calling at the homes of elderly people and using a variety of stories in an attempt to gain entry to the property. These incidents have been across North Lincolnshire, mainly in rural areas but there have been similar reports at houses in urban areas too.
We’re looking into these reports and advising residents to follow our advice
· Do not allow anyone you do not know into your home whatever story they tell you.
· Keep your front and back doors locked.
· Watch out for your neighbours particularly if they are elderly or away.
· Report suspicious activity to the police.
· Be alert but not alarmed.
· Record descriptions of the persons and their vehicle only if you can do so without putting yourself at risk of harm ... See more

A decade after the end of WW1, the British Legion organised for veterans and war widows to visit the battlefields of the Somme and Ypres before marching to the Menin Gates in Ypres on 8th August 1928.

Exactly 90 years later, Great Pilgrimage 90 will be the Legion’s biggest membership event in modern history and will consist of two representatives from each branch taking part in the Legion’s official GP90 tour.
The tour will culminate, on 8th August, with those representatives parading their branch standard and a wreath to the Menin Gate, representing an entire generation that served while defending their country.

These cards will be attached to the wreath from the Winterton Branch of the Royal British Legion who are attending the event after receiving funding through Winterton and District Lions. ... See more

The Town Council received nearly £3000 from the NLC In Bloom Grant for Winterton in Bloom. The money was used to purchase the four hanging basket trees located at the top end of Earlsgate.
I’m sure you’ll agree, they look blooming lovely!
