Distraction burglary
in Hartwell Road, Ashton
Police are appealing for information following a distraction burglary that took place in Hartwell Road on Thursday 1 July 2010.
At around 11am, a man who stated he was from BT knocked on the door of a Woman’s home after producing an identification card.
The offender entered the kitchen and produced a device that required a socket and proceeded by moving the microwave where he discovered a safe.
The victim was then asked to stand in the hall way and help hold down a button at which point the offender forces the safe from the wall and steals a substantial amount of cash before making off towards Hartwell.
The offender is described as white, male, between 5ft and 5ft 4inchs tall. He wore
a white short-
Witnesses to this incident, or anyone with information, should call Northamptonshire

Ashton Open Gardens
June 13th 2010 -
Well Done and Thank you to all the people who helped, or came, to the above event.
The weather was kind to us and everybody seemed to enjoy themselves and over £700
was raised.
The gardens, that people had offered to open, were all very different
but so attractive in their own individual ways. The setting for the teas on the Zanotto's
lawn in front of their house was perfect and thanks to so many people who provided
home made cakes to make it such a special afternoon.
It was lovely to receive so many visitors to our village and a particular "Well Done"
to the families who managed to fit in "Open Gardens" after a family weekend scout
camp-
Despite the success of the afternoon it would have been lovely to see even more Ashton
villagers there. All the events held, are for the benefit of the whole village so
do try to support them.
The next big event is a Harvest Supper on Friday, September
17th so put the date in your diary NOW and we hope to see you there.

Notes from the
Ashton Parish Council
Dog Fouling
Dog fouling continues to be a problem on the streets of Ashton. The Parish Council has considered many options to address this difficulty.
One of the things considered, is to place 'Dog Refuse' bins at various places in
the village. This would enable dog walkers to bin their pet's excrement, without
having to carry it home.
The cost for this would have to come from Parish Council
funds and would be as follows: £225 per box to purchase and a further £2.30 per box
per week to have them emptied.
Before we proceed, we ask the villagers if they are happy with this expenditure. Please pass your comments to any of the Parish Councillors or via email to the Parish Council Clerk at ginny@alcockhome.co.uk

Ashton ‘Roots’ Book :
( Project to complete by end 2010 )
As the second part of Ashton’s commitment to the Heritage Lottery Funded Project, it was agreed to create and publish an up to date history book on Ashton. The last such book was published by the Ashton Women’s Institute in 1953.
This project was started directly after the Roots weekend, in July 2009. We hope to complete the work by the end of 2010.
We are looking for help from all those in the village and those who have family ‘Roots’ with Ashton.
