Recently Battered Women's Trust to be a Good in the Hood grant recipient for 2018. We certainly thank the Z stations for their commitment to such a beneficial community event. To assist Battered Women's Trust you will need to go to the Marshlands Rd Station but if you are out elsewhere still think of how the community benefits when you buy your petrol.
I wish all stations and recipients a healthy and wealthy May.

The Police say to call them when I see him go out, but I work, so don't always see it.

If you've noticed a missed call from a number you don't recognise (particularly international numbers), it is important that you don't call this number back and consider reporting this as a potential scam.
Phone companies are advising customers to reject these calls and if you have friends or family living overseas, it is recommended to have their numbers added as contacts in your mobile phone, so you can identify when they are calling you.
