POLICE are appealing for witnesses after a café on Bridge Street was broken into.

It’s believed the burglary took place between 7.30pm on Saturday, February 27 and 7.30am on Sunday, February 28 when the offender or offenders entered through a side door in an alleyway close to the building.

A small amount of money was taken from the till before the offender or offenders took off back through the side door onto Bridge Street.

Ongoing building work in the area may have made it easier for the culprits to break into the café.

Anyone who may have witnessed any suspicious activity in the area at the time of the burglary is urged to call police on 101, quoting incident number 188s of 28 February.

Alternatively information can be given anonymously by calling Crimestoppers on 0800 555111, or via their website.

INFRASTRUCTURE consultancy firm Halcrow has begun work on putting together a traffic model of Evesham.

The firm will now map the flow of traffic in the town, take into account the houses to be built under the South Worcestershire Development Plan and look at the impact newly built housing developments have had on Evesham’s traffic issues.

The £150,000 traffic model was promised by Worcestershire County Council’s in their 2016/17 budget.

Once all of the data has been brought together, it’s then hoped the model can then work out ways of improving Evesham’s traffic woes by simulating what effect improvement projects would have and whether or not it would make things better or worse.

Town residents should then also be able to feed in to the traffic survey, according to the County Council’s Highway’s chief Coun John Smith, to have their say over ways to solve Evesham’s congestion issues.
