There is a spate of number plate thefts in the area. The consequences of being targeted by this theft is that the perpetrator can exchange his/her plates for your and then visit as many petrol stations, anywhere in the country, fill up and drive off knowing that the ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) camera has your name and address and will come to you for payment. The charge may also be for driving off without paying.
In the next forum meeting at 7.30 p.m. on Monday, 24th September in the Banners Gate Community Hall, we will have special screws available for you to exchange for the screws fixing your number plate. The screws can be tightened but the cannot be unscrewed.
We also have a speaker, Bob Green from the Sutton Coldfield Speakers’ Club, who will entertain us on the joys, and otherwise, of growing up in the 1950s.
