You may have seen on the Herald website that a threatening email has been sent to some Plymouth schools, including us. The local authority are coordinating communications with police and have advised that this a hoax. They have sent us this statement:

 

We are aware of a series of malicious communications to schools across the country. Police and schools take hoaxes extremely seriously. We have been in contact with the Police and the Local Authority and have continued to ensure the safety of our pupils and staff. We have policies and procedures in place to cover incidents of this nature. We understand that the Police will continue to investigate who is responsible.

Environmental enforcement officers will soon be patrolling outside Plymouth’s schools

 

From Monday 19 March, you may start to see extra environmental enforcement officers patrolling the streets outside Plymouth’s schools to help crackdown on things like dog fouling, littering, fly-posting and fly-tipping. Plymouth City Council has teamed up with specialist company Kingdom Services, to help ensure that Plymouth is a green and pleasant city.

 

The officers will be able to issue fixed penalty notices to offenders. Littering and fly-posting both carry an £80 penalty while dog fouling costs offenders £100. Meanwhile, fly-tipping is punishable by a £400 fine. Council leader Ian Bowyer said: "We know that people are fed up with issues like littering, dog fouling, and fly tipping, particularly around our schools, and by introducing extra enforcement officers we can now deal with these anti-social activities more effectively.”
