i do not know if dorset police to but i know lots of constabularies have rural crime officers who tryent here, they are based very close to us. they are constantly popping in. we definitely have benefited from that because as you can imagine having a police car or vehicle coming at your firm drive acts as a deterrent in itself. we have also used their services to to tag any of our small items. they are traceable back to the farm. we have put in security gates, alarms. all of that has been in communication with the police so that we are doing what they consider the right things were, because they are the ones with the knowledge in this area more than ourselves. hazel, i hope you have a better year this year and the and they keep well away from your firm. hazel from dorchester. if you live near a farm, be aware of unusual activity. the whole thing about number plates is the that can be most useful. no harm in writing them down but never know when the information will come in useful. information about further restrictions, the city authorities have decided to impose on to people who are
