WHAT'S ON: Rawmarsh and Parkgate

9TH ROTHERHAM SCOUT GROUP: Beavers started work on their Experiment Award, learning about magnets and testing them. The following Beavers have been presented with their Bronze Chief Scout Award in Clifton Park – Hannah Senior, Rylan Charnock, Oliver Uff and Dylan Lack. Chloe Dearden was invested into the Cubs. Compass work and map reading kept the Cubs busy. There are a few places left on the Cub Camp in May to Walsby. The Scouts have continued various challenges towards their Gold Chief Scout Award.

TRAFFIC REGULATION ORDER: It is now an offence to park on the yellow zig zag markings outside schools between 7.30am-5pm Monday to Friday. Civil enforcement officers will be carryoing out checks and issuing penalty charge notices. There are no exceptions including disablity badge holders.

101 PHONE NUMBER: Figures show that there are many people who have been unable to get through to the police using 101 local number. They have hung up the telephone after being kept on hold for long periods of time rather than wait and report a crime. South Yorkshire Police are to replace this call system at an estimated cost of £12 million. The 101 system has been in place since 2014 but the time taken to answer calls to this number has more than tripled in the South Yorkshire area.
