ASHBY ST MARY EMERGENCY ADVICE
On the advice of South Norfolk Disrict Council,
Ashby St Mary Parish Council produced a document with
advice and contact details in the event of various 'emergency'
occurences. The document was delivered to every household
in the parish in April 2019. A copy of that advice can
be found HERE.
ASHBY ST MARY HOUSEHOLD GRID REFERENCES
To
aid emergency and other services, Ordanance Survey grid
references for every Ashby dwelling have been determined.
These can be found in the list below. The list shows
each dwelling by postcode and address, followed by two
sets of three figures for Latitude and Longitude references
expressed in degrees, minutes and seconds.
The Parish Council has learned that Ordanance Survey
Grid references are used by all emergency and several
other services such as doctors. They carry facilities
such as satellite navigation systems which can locate
the exact position of a dwelling by its Ordnance Survey
grid reference, unlike a postcode which can cover many
dwellings. It is suggested parishioners note their grid
reference and keep a note of it so it is easily seen
and located should it be necessary to quote it.
If quoting the grid reference, it is suggested it should
be given as in the list - postcode, address, Latitude
reference and Longitude reference.
To find your household grid reference, click on Ashby
Grid References.
To demonstrate how your grid reference works to those
who use the Google Earth facility, enter the reference
into the search area and watch what happens!
(The above references list has
been compiled in good faith and is believed to be correct,
but any use of it is on the express understanding it
is subject to the conditions contained in the disclaimer
at the foot of this page.)

NORFOLK
POLICE
101
WHEREVER YOU ARE
You can contact Norfolk Constabulary for no-urgent issues
by simply dialling 101.
The 101 non-emergancy number is live across all police
areas in England and Wales.
This means the public have an easy to remember number
to contact their local police force to report non-emergency
crime and anti-social behaviour or to speak to a local
officer.
When someone calls 101, the system determines the caller's
location and connects them to the police force covering
that area. They hear a recorded message announcing which
police force they are being connected to.
If a caller is close to a boundary between two or more
forces, and they are using a mobile telephone, the recorded
message gives them a choice of neighbouring forces.
If the force they require is not on the list, they can
speak to an operator who will redirect them.
Calls from landlines and mobile networks cost just 15p,
no matter what time of day, or how long the call is.
Deaf, hard-of-hearing or speech-impaired callers can
access the service via textphone on 18001 101.
In an emergency, callers should always dial
999.
See local police officer names and details plus how
to find a local crime map on the CONTACTS page.
