A word from your Mayor
W
Helen Powell
elcome to Springtime at last, sunshine, flowers a cuppa with your friends out at Time for Tea, Pollys, Rumbly Tums, Costa ‘s or any of your favourite places. When it gets a bit warmer, even in the park with a book on a blanket by the river. A walk in the woods to see all the flowers coming through. Aren’t we jolly lucky - Bourne is a wonderful town to be in. It’s Easter, and the beginning of life’s cycle again. What are we going to do that’s different this year. We get to decide. Looking down or lifting up our heads and looking out and getting the Big picture. There are excellent Easter morning services in all the churches, to meet, greet and be thankful for the precious people we have in our lives. Don’t forget to hide those eggs in the garden for the Easter Egg hunt. Lots of exciting things again this year. A lot of Bourne residents amaze me. Always looking at ways to improve life fo someone else. Some very special people are working their socks off to help provide things for others. If you can think of a way to help a group then please approach them, they will welcome you with open arms and make a friend of you too. Bournes Food and Furniture Banks will be amazing and a great help in these difficult times. The Salvation Army need a building to house some furniture temporarily, can anyone help out please? We must get the footpaths and town centre cleaned up ready for this summer again and our visitors. I’ve heard some towns are putting bans on Chewing Gum in the town centres - what a relief. Does anyone know a great hanging basket maker that could really do our shops a good deal this year? Last year Spaldings were just stunning, really stunning. Parking. If our shops are to survive we need to find more parking for our shoppers and town centre workforce, plus the commuters. We need to share this space to be fair to the traders who need their parking back for their customers. Commuter parking is also being sought in Thurlby, Northorpe and Morton. Please send me your ideas, SKDC will address it anyway so we are best coming up with a workable plan first. Three people at Thurlby are thinking about commuter parking provision at the moment. Lets hope we can get the Skate park sorted. I am still working on this and feel something good

may happen. There will be an opportunity to come and discuss the Town Hall’s future and a parking strategy at the Annual Public meeting in May. I wish to invite everyone along to that meeting to help find a way forward that’s best for the town. The Brass Band plans from the Salvation Army and Bourne Rotary look great to produce that special band for April 2014. Do you want us to get a Bandstand in place by them for them to perform in? If so please write to Bourne United Charities whose Objectives (from the Benefactors and online at the Charities Commission website) is to provide amenities for the people of the town. B.U.C. are worth in excess of £15Million and I personally think the people of Bourne deserve a Bandstand and a Brass band of our own. There would be nothing finer than to hear beautiful military music being played for the boys and men on that Cenotaph in the 3 or 4 acres of land of the memorial gardens, purchased for use of the good people of Bourne. £5 Totally Locally day. I’d like to organise an event where the elderly can teach the youngsters things like making a soup from scratch and then maybe the youngsters can teach the elderly members of Bourne to use the web and send an email? Would that be a good idea. We can hire a hall for the day the same weekend as the £5 Totally Locally weekend. And lastly I’d like to thank most sincerely all the students and people who gave of their time and support so generously for the charity fund raising events, the refreshments and posh cakes and plates from Alice Lily Vintage, the Wonderful Classical music concert in the beautiful Bourne Abbey, the Strings Orchestra from Bourne Grammar school, Ellen Bishel from the Academy, Leigh Evans from the Stamford Gilbert & Sullivan soc and our special guest performer Marco Cheng from Hong Kong. Everyone played and sang exquisitely - what a fabulous special evening. Take care of each other and I look forward to seeing you all soon

Clinical Reflexology? Tell me more… Alison Dear MAR, PRM, specialises in providing Maternity and Fertility reflexology, Cancer and Palliative reflexology, Precision Reflexology and Foot Reading.
Alison will be offering a taster session to anyone who would like to experience reflexology or simply find out more. It will take place on Saturday 6th April 9am to 1pm. Please telephone the practice to secure your free 20 minute session.
Clinical Reflexology – What is it?
Clinical reflexology is a medically focused treatment that works reflexes within the feet or hands, which in turn correspond to every part of the body. So, for instance, if you suffer from headaches, or depression, a clinical reflexologist will use techniques specifically related to both cause and symptoms in order to support your treatment. A reflexologist cannot claim to cure or diagnose, but will work with you to identify how they can best help you.
How does Reflexology work?
Stress is only healthy if it is short lived, but underlying stress is a common factor in many illnesses. Prolonged stress can reach deep into the body, disrupting the immune system and increasing vulnerability to illness. By working the reflexes on the feet, reflexology can reduce this stress, provide immense relaxation, improve well-being, and support the natural healing ability of the body.
So who can be treated?
Reflexology can support people of any age with just about any condition, including maternity and fertility care, muscular and joint pain, hormonal imbalances, insomnia and sleep disorders, digestive problems, anxiety and stress, chronic fatigue syndrome/ME, cancer and palliative
care, amongst many others. However, you do not have to be ill to benefit from a reflexology treatment - many people choose to have regular reflexology treatments to help maintain good health.
How do I know which reflexologist to choose?
Make sure your therapist is fully qualified and insured. The Association of Reflexologists, Professional Reflexology, or the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council are all good places to check. Also make sure your reflexologist has experience and competence in treating your specific requirements. Any reflexologist should be very happy to talk to you before you make an appointment to be sure that you are seeing the right person with the right skills.
And finally, why should I choose to have Reflexology?
Our feet work very hard for us in our lifetime – treatment through the feet is treatment for our whole self. Not forgetting too that the benefits of complete relaxation can never be underestimated.

Your Health
Chiropody
Through a series of articles to encourage feet awareness, Alison Staines will be highlighting what to look out for when it comes to some of the most common foot problems she treats in practice
What is a Podiatrist/Chiropodist?
A health professional who diagnoses and treats the huge variety of foot problems in both adults and children. Podiatrist & Chiropodist are the ONLY titles protected under British Law. They are regulated by the Health Care Professions Council. Before having your feet treated, it is wise to check that your Podiatrist is genuine. After all, anyone can advertise and charge for treating your feet but would you let anyone loose on your Teeth, Back, eyes and Health who was not a Dentist, Osteopath, Optometrist or Doctor? You can check the online register at http://www.hpc-uk.org/check/ or telephone them. They are there to make sure you are in safe hands.
Ingrown toenails
These occur when one or both sides of your nail grow into, and pierce the skin of, your toe.Cutting your nails too short or wearing tight-fitting shoes is rarely the cause. More commonly as we age, the nail curvature increases and starts to dig in (involution). The foot shape, way you walk, length of your toes are all factors. Many Podiatrists can operate with local anaesthesia, to cure the problem.
Corns and Calluses
These are very commonly seen. They are caused by your own body weight placing localised pressure over small areas of your feet. They often accompany other underlying problems such as hallux valgus (bunions) or
hammer toe deformity. A corn is a localized thickening of the skin due to pressure. Corns often occur on the top of the toes where there is pressure from the shoes. However, they also occur at the sole of the foot and in between toes. Certain corns may become entwined with the nerves of the skin, these corns are particularly painful.
Tinea pedis or athlete’s foot
This is a skin infection caused by a fungus. The fungus causing infection prefers moist, warm skin; this is why tinea pedis favours the folds between the toes and is often worse in hot weather. You can get a dry skin form that causes peeling . Your Podiatrist can identify and treat this.
Fungal Nails (Onychomycosis)
Invasive fungal infections of the nail. The fungus that causes Athlete’s Foot can invade the toe nails. This is uncommon in the young and far more common as we age. White streaks in the nail can be the early presentation, then a thickening and brown “tobacco streaked” appearance. It can be treated but is often mis-diagnosed.
If you suffer from any of the above, then contact the practice today to start your journey towards problem free feet.

EVERY MONTH
Ray Pawlett looks at how the stars influence us
IT’S ALL IN THE STARS! In 2006, I met a teacher called Rex Lassalle. He introduced me to an ancient system called “Nine Star Ki”. I had never heard of it but it looked more like something that would be at home in a Sunday supplement rather than part of a professional study programme. Rex proved me to be very wrong. Armed with only our dates of birth he worked out our health, our interests, our favourite foods and what kind of year I was having!
N
ine Star Ki is an ancient Taoist system that has origins in China, Tibet and India. It differs from Western Astrology and Numerology in that it uses the stars to describe the energetic matrix of nature’s elemental energies on the day that we were born. For example a person who is a mixture of the Earth and Fire elements would have different challenges and strengths to a person who is a mixture of water and wood energies. 2013 is an important year for Nine Star Ki fans because it is a year in which the influence of our main adult star is amplified. For example – if your main energy is metal then the characteristics of metal energy such as clarity and responsibility will be enhanced. It is easy to work out your Nine Star Ki number. Start by writing down your year of birth – for
Nine Star Ki Number 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

me it is 1968. Then add the numbers together 1+9+6+8 = 24, now add the numbers of the result together so 2+4=6. Now subtract the number from 11, giving for me, 11-6=5. So my nine star Ki number is 5. Look up in the chart below for the keyword of the element for the coming year. So for example, if you come up with your year being a number 4, you should try and promote the new activities that you initiated last year in your “3” year or if you come up with a number 1 it is a good idea to have a quieter time than you did last year in your “9” year. This quick guide is meant in the spirit of fun but hopefully it will give you an insight into an ancient and different way of looking at things. Please contact Ki-Ways if you want to find out more.

Delivering Simple Financial Advice - That really works A monthly feature that focuses on current financial issues. Many local Banks and Building Societies have lost their ‘in house’ adviser and few are independent. Eamonn is a fully qualified local Independent Financial Adviser.
Investing
M
Cautiously
any of my clients want a return on their investments that puts them ahead of the rate of inflation – which is very difficult in a Cash deposit in a Bank or Building Society – because interest rates are so low. However – the same clients would not wish to invest in a fund that tracks the stock markets – that have been very volatile. Diversification is an important aspect when searching for better returns whilst aiming to avoid the risky end of investing. There are four basic asset classes: Cash, Fixed Interest, Property and Equities. Most people understand cash – the returns are not great but the degree of security makes it an important component. Fixed interest is effectively getting a return on debt – money is loaned to the government or a corporation – and in return interest is paid back – the rate of return depends on the ability of the borrower to repay the debt – most conventional pension funds have significant Fixed Interest funds. Investment in property may not be domestic

housing, it could be commercial office space, shopping centres or even car parks – the aim is to have property that increases in value and in many cases produces a rental income also, it is not unusual for investment funds to include this sort of investment. Finally the equity markets – this might be shares in well known (or not so well known) companies – the investor is looking for the share price to increase and possibly deliver additional value from dividends. At Beacon Wealth Management – we manage our own investment portfolios in house, over recent years the returns have been outstanding – even the more cautious plans. So if you are looking for the opportunity of better returns from a well diversified portfolio, we should have a chat – whether you are concerned about your pension funds or your ISA – there might be a portfolio for you. This is what I do for my clients all the time: Delivering Simple Financial Advice – that really works! Call me to arrange a free initial meeting and benefit from my experience.

Bourne and Deeping tennis clubs What a great year 2012 was for British Tennis! With Andy Murray becoming the first British Grand Slam champion in well over 70 years as well as winning Olympic Gold and Silver Medals, not to mention having four British women in the worlds top 100, what a perfect opportunity this is for the Lawn Tennis Association to build on this momentum. What better way to do this than by developing the grass roots talent that’s out there? I have been a tennis coach for approximately 15 years and working in the Bourne and Deeping area for just over half of that time. I have been working at Bourne & District Lawn Tennis Club and Deeping Tennis Club coaching players from beginners right through to regional and national level. My aim has always been to make tennis accessible to all and to provide a friendly club environment for adults and juniors to enjoy the game but also to develop and recognise their potential.

During March and April, we will be running a roadshow that is visiting most of the primary schools in the area, offering all pupils a free taster session, in the hope that they will be inspired to take up the sport and who knows, maybe follow in the footsteps of the players achieving such great things at present. We are also holding our annual open days(Deeping TC Saturday 27 April; Bourne & District LTC Sunday 28 April), which both adults and juniors alike are welcome to attend whether you have played before or are a complete beginner.

Vintage Motoring E aster is fast approaching and it will be time to forget about eggs and bunnies and concentrate on dusting the cobwebs off the old girls and get them ready for another year of classic motoring, ever hopeful that we get some better weather. Recent events have focused on first the black smoke and then the white smoke coming from the Vatican, but I’d be more worried if the smoke was coming from my old Wolseley or Mary’s Magnette, which can sometimes happen after long storage. Whilst preparing your car for it’s first outing (don’t forget the Drive it Day Run on 21st April) most of you will be aware by now of the recent changes to the law regarding MOT’s for pre-1960’s cars. This has been generally felt by many as a retrograde step and they will continue to have MOT’s done every year though this is no longer a legal requirement. We are a historic/classic vehicle friendly test station and we are always kind and sympathetic with the old girls. We can be found on the FBHVC website: www.fbhvc. co.uk along with lots of useful information and offer a discounted MOT for such vehicles. Happy motoring and enjoy your classic car. • Information from Brian and Mary at Chapel Motors Repairs, 01778 560444

Home Improvements Article by Ian Holdup of Manor Energy Saving Solutions
Six energy saving solutions
Ian Holdup of Langtoft-based Manor Energy Saving Solutions explains the various energy saving systems available to homeowners...
A
ir Source Heat Pumps - Heat your home with energy absorbed from the air around you. An air source heat pump extracts heat from the outside air in the same way that a fridge extracts heat from its inside. This heat can then be used to heat radiators, underfloor heating systems, or warm air convectors and hot water in your home. It can even get heat from the air when the temperature is as low as -15° C. Heat pumps have some impact on the environment as they need electricity to run, but the heat they extract from the ground, air, or water is constantly being renewed naturally.
Air Source Heat Pump
Micro Wind - Did you know you can generate more electricity for your home using “Micro Wind” small scale wind turbines? Wind turbines use the power that is generated by the wind and use it to produce electricity for your home. Forty percent of all the wind energy in Europe is blown over the United Kingdom making it an ideal country for wind turbines.
20
A typical system in an exposed site/area could easily generate more power than what your lights and electrical appliances use. Domestic Solar Power - these systems can make a significant contribution toward your energy costs for powering for your home, but how does it work? The solar panels on your roof are where it all starts and these are produced by well-known companies like Panasonic and Hyundai. The Science bit: Photovoltaic; meaning power from light. When sunlight hits the special materials on the panel’s surface it knocks free electrons, which in the simplest terms escape via the cable attaching the panel to your home. This flow of electrons is the same as from a battery and is a DC (direct current) electric current. When your Solar Panels are installed they are accompanied by an INVERTER which converts the current to AC (Alternating Current) which is used by your home. The current is then regulated to match the same voltage as your normal domestic supply and fed into your home via a circuit breaker or fuse box. Solar Thermal - these systems use free heat from the sun to warm domestic hot water. A conventional boiler or immersion
heater can be used to make the water hotter, or to provide hot water when solar energy is unavailable.
Solar Thermal
Biomass Heating - Wood-fuelled heating systems, also called biomass systems, burn wood pellets, chips or logs to to provide warmth in a single room or to power central heating and hot water boilers. Low Energy Lighting - LED Lighting has improved greatly over the last few years and is now the most commonly used low energy lighting solution, saving approximately 90% on standard lighting. Payback for a LED retrofit installation is approximately 12-18 months. To learn more, contact one of our team for friendly advice and a free no obligation quotation.

April
pril is the perfect month to prune shrubs, trees and hedges before birds begin to nest. Remove foliage from any overgrown evergreen shrubs and cut back summer flowering shrubs such as hydrangeas. Cutting off dead or damaged wood is a good way to keep your plants in shape and will encourage new growth. It’s a good idea to keep any plant labels when you buy a plant. These should give you information such as when and how to prune. Pruning at the wrong time of year won’t always hurt a plant in the long run but pruning late in the season may encourage new growth that could be killed off by winter weather and could mean fewer flowers and fruits for the following season. Start to prepare and plant hanging baskets with your favourite summer annuals. Use moss or a basket liner to line the basket then fill with compost before adding an assortment of plants and foliage. Keep indoors or in the green house until the risk of frost has gone and water daily once they have been put out. Keep an eye out for garden pests. Aphids of all colours, such as green-fly and black-fly, will start to multiply this month as the weather begins to warm up. Check all plants regularly,

Hand dig out weeds from your borders before they get out of control then you will only need to hoe occasionally throughout the season. To suppress weeds add a mulch to your borders or better still plant lots of ground cover plants such as vinca, hostas and pulmonaria. Onion and shallot sets can be planted this month. Make sure that your vegetable plot is positioned in a sunny, well-drained spot and kept as weed free as possible. Plant onion sets around 10cm apart in rows 20cm apart and plant shallots around 15cm apart in rows 22cm apart. Push them into the11:20:21 soil until just the tip Sack Store.pdf 13/02/2013 is showing then add mulch to the soil. After planting, water the sets sparingly. You should be able to harvest as soon as the foliage starts to turn yellow.

Pet’s Corner
Poisonous Foods
A
s a pet care professional I regularly have consultations with dog owners who want their dogs looked after when they are away or working. During these meetings I hear how they feed and treat their dogs. Most have a strict regime of food and treats What I don’t hear about is the ‘treats’ of scraps of food shared after dinner, the ‘one for me and one for them’ when eating our own treats which we’re all guilty of sometimes. It’s the look they give you as you’re about to pop that last piece of food into your mouth that makes us break it in half and share it with our dog. So I was shocked when I received a message that one of the Isis gang had been rushed to the vets with sickness and blood in his faeces. Earlier that evening he had their leftover Chinese take away, not a lot, just a few onions, spring onions and a bit of sauce. Unbeknown to his owner, the onions were damaging his kidneys. He was on a drip for four days and at a huge financial cost. It sparked questions on my Facebook page about what other foods are poisonous for our beloved pets. Below is a list of some foods you shouldn’t feed your dogs: • Chocolate. Though not harmful to people, chocolate products contain substances called methylxanthines that can cause vomiting in small doses, and death if ingested in larger quantities, and dark chocolate contains more of these dangerous substances. • Coffee and caffeine have similar chemicals. • Alcohol. Symptoms of alcohol poisoning in animals are similar to those in people. • Avocado. You might think of them as healthy, but avocadoes have a substance called persin that can act as a poison, causing vomiting and diarrhoea. • Macadamia nuts. Dogs may suffer from a series of symptoms, including weakness, overheating, and vomiting after consumption. • Grapes and raisins. Experts aren’t sure why, but these fruits can induce kidney failure in dogs. Even in a small number. • Xylitol. This sweetener is found in many

products, including sugar-free gum and sweets. It causes a rapid drop in blood sugar, resulting in weakness and seizures. • Fat Trimmings can cause Pancreatitis. • Bones can cause lacerations to digestive tract. • Human vitamins that include Iron can damage the lining of the digestive system and be toxic to the other organs including the liver and kidneys. • Mushrooms. Can contain toxins, which may affect multiple systems in the body, cause shock, and result in death. • Raw Eggs contain an enzyme called avidin, which decreases the absorption of biton (a B Vitamin). This can lead to skin and hair coat problems. Raw eggs may contain Salmonella. • Rhubarb Leaves contain oxalates, which can affect the digestive, nervous, and urinary systems. • Raw Meat. May contain bacteria such as Salmonella and E. coli, which can cause vomiting and diarrhoea.

Email Spoofing and Hacking? By Taff Lovesey of LitesPC Of late there has been a large increase in the problem where individuals receive spam email from what appears to be friends and/or family but which, in reality, was not sent by that person. This occurs when a users account has been hacked or where an email address is being spoofed.
SO WHAT ARE SPOOFING AND HACKING?
Hacking: Hacking is where a person’s email account has actually been compromised. An automated process or an individual has gained access to someone’s email by entering the users email and correct password. In the case of hacking it is vitally important to change the password of the email address that has been hacked to prevent re-occurrence. Spoofing: Spoofing is a little harder to understand. However, in summary, any email can be made to ‘look’ like it has been sent by any person. For example I could make a quick change to my email settings and change my ‘send’ name to Mickey Mouse and when you receive it in your inbox the email will show as sent by Mickey Mouse. In the vast majority of cases this is what is happening when you ‘seem’ to receive emails from people you know. The email actually originates from elsewhere, but through other means, the sender knows that there is a link between you and the name they use and hence they ‘spoof’ that name in an effort to make you open the email. Emails that are sent this way generally contain a link or an attachment – NEVER click on these links or open the attachments.
SO HAVE I BEEN HACKED OR SPOOFED?
One way to tell if your email has been spoofed is to look at the header of the email. Unfortunately this is often hidden by today’s email readers and not readily available. In the header the details will show where the email originated, although deciphering that information can be tricky in itself. If you have been hacked however your online email account MAY show any mail sent in the Sent Folder. That said it depends on how the account was hacked and what mechanism was used to send email out. Note that almost every case that I have seen of late has been Spoofing NOT Hacking.
WHAT CAN I DO ABOUT IT?
Sadly very little. If someone reports to you that they have received emails from you that were not sent by you then you should change your email password, whether this has been through hacking or spoofing. From a security standpoint make sure that your antivirus and internet protection software is installed and fully up to date. If spoofing becomes a big problem then you could change your email address and notify friends and relatives that they should ‘block’ your old email address so that it is put in their spam/junk folders. Although I would suggest this as a last resort as changing your email address is always a pain. Spoofing always starts where someone’s email account has been hacked and their Contact List copied. Sadly, even though we all know better, the most common reason for this is due to people using the same passwords on multiple sites and also not setting their own passwords after they have been set by their broadband provider.
WHY DO THEY DO IT?
For devilment and profit. Some of the links and attachments are simply mischievous but most are looking to change the settings on your system or to add code that will monitor your system to give someone external access. The most common modify your internet search settings and redirect any searches through a third party so that they control which sites you actually visit and perhaps where you purchase product. The golden rule is to NEVER click on the links or open attachments that are included in these emails. If you think you have done so already then run a full scan with your antivirus software.

Discovering... ..Bourne gasworks by Rex Needle
T
he gasworks served Bourne for more than a century, producing coal gas to provide light and heat for much of the town until electricity started to compete because of its cleaner operation and safer installation. The country’s first commercial gasworks was built in London in 1812 and others soon followed, the Bourne Gas Light and Coke Company being formed in 1840 with premises in Eastgate, erected at a cost of £2,000 and the first project was to install gas lighting in the Abbey Church. The Eastgate premises, now known as Gas House Yard, were enlarged in 1868 to meet the demand and again in 1878 when the mains were laid as far as the Market Place. By this time, coal gas was being used for heating and lighting in homes, shops and business premises, as well as for street lighting with 56 incandescent gas lamps at various points around the town which were lit on dark evenings. Central to the supply system was the gasometer, a massive metal telescopic holder containing the domestic supply ready for distribution. Three were eventually erected to serve the town, each bigger and better than before, the last with a capacity of 40,000 cubic feet being installed in 1908.
26
The Bourne Gas Light and Coke Company ceased trading on 31st March 1914 and went into liquidation prior to being sold to Bourne Urban District Council which paid almost £14,000 for the business. In 1934 the service was extended to Dyke when the urban council laid a mains pipe to the village and the streets were lighted with gas lamps for the first time. Re-organisation of the gas supply industry brought about the closure of the gasworks in 1957. The Eastgate buildings were demolished in 1960 and the new BRM workshops were built on the site although the huge gasometer remained in use on the opposite side of the road for several years. By 1965, Bourne’s supply was being piped in from North Killingholme on Humberside and there were 1,400 consumers in the town with the demand rising steadily. Responsibility for gas distribution subsequently passed from the council to the East Midlands Gas Board and then to British Gas in 1973 and our supply no longer comes from coal but from the North Sea and is brought into the town through a complicated pipeline network from the east coast.

Property Fraud
Many people worry about a thief stealing their car or the money in their online bank account but not many people give much thought to protecting their most valuable asset - their property Property fraud can happen in many ways, but usually a fraudster will impersonate a homeowner and forge documents to persuade the Land Registry to transfer the title into their name. They then use the property to raise a mortgage from a bank and then disappear with the money. The Land Registry advise there is an increased risk of fraud when a property : • Is empty or has been bought to let • The owner is spending time abroad or absent • The owner is infirm or in a nursing or care home • Has no mortgage • Is unregistered So, how do you protect your most valuable asset? Firstly you should make sure your property is registered at the Land Registry. If you are in any doubt speak with your solicitor and they will be able to advise you. If your property is registered, you should make sure your contact details at the Land Registry are up to date. You can register up to three different addresses.
If the Land Registry receives an application regarding your property, they may write to you about it. If your details are not up to date, they wont be able to contact you and stop any potential fraud. The form to update your details can be down loaded from the Land Registry A restriction can be registered on your property this makes sure that the Land Registry will not register a sale or a mortgage, unless a solicitor or conveyancer has certified that the person who has signed the deed is the registered owner. This could help to prevent a fraudster forging your signature.
The Land Registry has launched a helpline for anyone concerned that their property might be subject to a fraudulent sale or mortgage. Tel: 0300 006 7030
