7 September	Rat on a Rat Campaign This campaign has been launched with Crimestoppers to give communities confidence to report drug dealing in their neighbourhoods by calling the freephone number anonymously. Recently we have had some significant success using the Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) Legislation closing drug houses and using police powers to serve warrants; largely as a result of community intelligence. This campaign aims to build on that. Anti-Social Behaviour Information There are two leaflets produced by the young people in North Devon College and Torrington Junior School. 'Anti-social behaviour explained!' is for 7-11 year olds 'Anti-social behaviour - Are you bothered?' is for 12-17 year olds. If you would like one of these leaflets, send an e-mail to: nicky.newman@northdevon.gov.uk
7 September	Devon CAR FREE DAY Tuesday 22 September has been designated a 'car free' day.   The challenge is to leave the car at home and travel using a different, environmentally friendly form of transport. The more unusual and inventive the better.   For further details (and where to lodge your 'unusual and inventive'  method of transport) write to: travelwise@devon.gov.uk   It may be useful to have a photograph of your creative method of transport!
