From February 1  through February 28, 2011, all Hampton Roads residents are asked to drop off worn out child safety seats at all Southside and Peninsula Walmart Supercenters, Hampton Roads area DMV customer service centers, and AAA offices on the Southside and Peninsula during the month of February.  Walmart will provide a $5 reward for each safety seat, up two seats, by giving gift cards to those who turn in their safety seats.  The materials from the old safety seats will be recycled in an effort to help save the environment.

VB Police to Conduct Neighborhood Surveys

Copied from the original post on vbgov.com:

Virginia Beach Police to Conduct Neighborhood Surveys
VBPD-NR:2010-165

Release Date: Thursday, November 18, 2010 4:30 p.m.
Starting November 19, 2010, at 6:00 p.m., Chief of Police Jim Cervera and members of his command staff, along with precinct police officers, will begin conducting citizen surveys in selected neighborhoods throughout the city.

The surveys are part of Mayor Will Sessoms’ “Mayor’s Action Challenge for a Safe Neighborhood.” The survey is intended to evaluate the public’s feelings of safety, strengthen connections between the police and those who live in the community, and help the department obtain firsthand information on what is needed to improve safety in their neighborhood.

Mayor Will Sessoms said, “Everyone deserves to live in a safe environment. Through this Mayor’s Action Challenge initiative, we hope to involve members of the community as we develop a plan to increase the number of Virginia Beach families that can enjoy their lives without fear of danger, injury, or damage.”

Chief Cervera stated, “Through the efforts of the Department’s Community Oriented Policing officers, Crime Prevention, and other members of the department, we should be able to interview 500-600 residents throughout the four police precincts.”
In addition to completing the survey, police officers will be providing information pamphlets pertaining to Crime Prevention tips and other information to help citizens become more involved in their community. Police officers will be conducting these surveys from November 19, and it is anticipated the project will be completed by the end of the year.

Be Prepared for Hurricances!

A message from Membership Director, Ward Byington:

King’s Grant Neighbors,

As we are now in hurricane season and Hurricane Earl & Tropical Storm Fiona are possibly steering in our direction (Thursday-Saturday), I would like to take this brief moment to remind you of the importance for advance planning. Our King’s Grant Community League web site provides a list of telephone numbers and Useful Links which are resourceful for quick reference in pre-planning. Click on the highlighted words above to go there now.

Remember, in the event you plan to evacuate the area, communicate your intentions with your neighbors and relatives on your intended travel plans.

Think Safety First,

Ward Byington
