A scrap dealer has pledged £21,000 to replace metal plaques stolen from a war memorial. Fourteen bronze plaques bearing the names of 243 World War I servicemen were stolen from the memorial in south London last September. However Stuart Nebbett, who runs a nearby scrapyard, said of the theft: “I wanted to make this gift to the community to make it clear that we run a professional operation, and that I was as outraged as everyone else.” Tensor is the leading manufacturer of equipment and software for access and visitor control systems. Contactless smart cards or key fobs are used to operate your access control system. Each smart card is assigned to an individual employee and can be affixed with a bespoke label denoting the name and photograph of the employee along with any other details required. Each attempted access on a scanner is logged within the access control software allowing you to view and track employees' movements across your site.  

The Local Government Association (LGA) is looking into the rising problem of metal thefts for local authorities. The LGA is compiling a survey to find out the impact of metal theft on their budgets, what changes they would like to legislation and whether councils are looking into alternative materials. One possible novel solution is being trialled by Oxfordshire County Council which is installing a fibreglass manhole cover to see if it copes with traffic. Contactless key fobs can used to operate access control systems available to local authorities from security experts Tensor. An inbuilt aerial made from copper and iron is embedded into your key fob, allowing it to be scanned by your access control system. The T1313 key fob has a grey plastic shell made from implant quality glass, similar to those used in the identification of pets. When placed within range of an access control scanner, the key fob will be read in under ½ second, even if that fob is covered in oil and grease.
