Letter From Marstons Brewery
In September 2011 we wrote a letter, signed by over 40 villagers, to the brewery pleading our case regarding the decline of the Red Lion.
We are delighted to report they have replied. View their letter here. We shall be replying in due course.

I did see a Vauxhall Astra - 02 plate possibly silver driving slowly around there about 5.30am this morning - might have been a coincidence but..........................."
Warning of More Stone Thefts in the Area
We received the following email from our Community Beat Officer, Phil Hambley, on 29th July 09:
Just to let you know that we have had a number of thefts recently of flagstones. They have not occurred in Blacksnape but we have had a number in the Marsh House area. I am aware that Blacksnape has been targetted in the past so it may well be worth alerting residents to be extra vigilant and to report any suspicious activity to the police. In the past the thieves have been as blatant as turning up in high-visibility clothing and posing as workmen. At the moment offences seem to be occurring overnight but offenders could well be visiting during the day to check the area out.
If there is anything else I will let you know. I am on leave from 3rd August until 17th but the PCSOs will return any calls to the office (222135). Thanks.
