Breast Cancer Now

A Huge Thank You! ☕🍰

A huge thank you to everyone who supported our Coffee Morning for Breast Cancer Now on Saturday.

Whether you baked delicious cakes, donated raffle prizes, or simply came along to enjoy the fantastic selection of home baking, your support was greatly appreciated and helped make the event such a success.

We’re delighted to share that together we raised an amazing £610 for Breast Cancer Now. This is a wonderful amount for a very deserving charity and would not have been possible without the generosity and support of our local community.

Thank you once again to everyone who contributed and joined us. Your kindness and support made all the difference! 💖

Village Break-Ins

At last week’s Parish Council meeting the recent break ins and thefts were discussed. The council are making contact with the police to request a visit from the crime prevention officer to advise us on what steps we can take to help protect ourselves.

We have also done some research into alarm systems that maybe suitable for sheds and outbuildings. Most alarms require a subscription but guardfather.co.uk produce an alarm that requires no subscription but has features such as mobile phone notification and sirens. The alarm base station does require power but can be sited in the house subject to the distance to the shed. Whilst the Parish Council are not necessarily recommending this company we feel it may be of interest.

When we have a date for the crime prevention officer’s visit, a notification will be put on Horley Views.

Recent thefts in the village

Please be aware that subsequent to the Parish Council’s previous post on thefts from garden sheds in the village (28 September 2026) there have been further break-ins in the village. 

Please be extra vigilant and ensure outbuildings are locked up. As per advice issued before from Matthew Barber, the Police and Crime Commissioner for TVP, please do mark any equipment with a suitable marker with your name and address. It may not stop the burglaries but it will make it easier for stolen goods to be returned if found and make the resale of them more difficult. Another good way to prove your ownership of any items is to ensure that the equipment is registered with the manufacturer for warranty. It may seem futile, but please report any incident to the police. They probably won’t be able to do too much, but they definitely won’t if they don’t know about it.

Any additional measures residents may be able to take discussed at the forthcoming Parish Council Meeting will be shared on Horley Views in due course.

Garden Shed Break-Ins

Unfortunately a couple of garden sheds in the village were broken into last night (Sunday 27th September) and garden equipment, including a mower, was stolen. Please be extra vigilant and ensure outbuildings are locked up. 

As per advice issued before from Matthew Barber, the Police and Crime Commissioner for TVP, please do mark any equipment with a suitable marker with your name and address. It may not stop the burglaries but it will make it easier for stolen goods to be returned if found and make the resale of them more difficult. Another good way to prove your ownership of any items is to ensure that the equipment is registered with the manufacturer for warranty. It may seem futile, but please report any incident to the police. They probably won’t be able to do too much, but they definitely won’t if they don’t know about it.
