Try to avoid parking your vehicle in quite side roads where the culprits are able to operate unobserved, and ensure all doors and windows are secured when leaving the vehicle. Under no circumstances should goods, clothing or even empty carrier bags/containers be left in the vehicle. Thieves steal first and think about value later. Take all your belongings with you, or if you can’t, lock them in the boot. Mobile phones and credit cards are frequently stolen from glove boxes. Car alarms and immobilisers are an excellent deterrent, however, mechanical devices such as steering wheel locks are a good alternative and normally less expensive. If you do purchase any vehicle security product, make sure it carries the ‘Sold Secure’ or ‘Thatcham’ logo on the box/packaging. These are independent organisations that test all new vehicle security products to ensure their effectiveness.
If you own a satellite navigation system, there are a number of steps that you can take to greatly reduce the risk of becoming a victim of this type of vehicle crime;

Another year of free insulation for Wirral residents
The Council has committed an extra £1.049m towards the Cosy Homes free insulation Programme for the coming financial year, bringing the year’s budget to £2.098m.
A total of 6,350 insulation measures have either already been installed or are about to be installed in 5,520 homes and a further 2,000 residents are receiving surveys for work in the next few weeks.
The Programme, which has also created 30 jobs locally, aims to install 34,500 insulation measures by May 2012.
As part of the scheme, free loft and cavity wall insulation will be offered, subject to a technical survey and a maximum grant allowance, along with referrals into other initiatives which may reduce fuel bills or increase household income.
There are no set criteria for applicants; the scheme will be open to everyone living in a privately owned or rented home on a first-come first-served basis.
Certain Wards in Wirral, with higher than average rates of fuel poverty, will receive increased promotion of the scheme, with energy assessors visiting households door-to-door.
Anyone who may be interested should contact the Energy Saving Trust advice centre on freephone 0800 512 012 or can apply by visiting www.wirral.gov.uk/freeinsulation.

THE WELLBEING OF WIRRAL.
(organised by Wirral Older People’s Parliament with help from the hospital trust and the council)
Come to the Floral Pavilion on Thursday 26th or Friday 27th May any time from 10am to 5pm, and bring your friends and family. Find out why Wirral is such a good place in which to grow older. There will be over fifty stalls full of information about activities and services. Come and plan what you will do if you are heading for retirement. Do you need ideas about housing, health, transport, pensions, voluntary work, activities to keep your brain ticking over or advice about finance? Do you want to grow your own fruit and veg, but have no garden? Do you want to take up a sport, but are not sure if you can cope after years of inactivity? Do you want to do something useful in your community? Or are you really worried about all the changes coming in the NHS? We will have a programme of workshops and seminars running for the two days. The final programme for these will be announced in May, but we can promise a varied and interesting series of talks and discussions. We will have some relaxing music in the lounge area, and the cafes will be working overtime to keep you happy. So put the dates in your diary, and bring everyone along. This is the nearest thing to a Wirral Show this summer!
