1) Over the last 3 months we have visited all schools on the Bardon beat multiple times making 28 different visits. On some days more than one school was visited. This is also while carrying other policing business. Schools have been spoken with and assisted in getting the message across to parents/ carers that parking must be safe and lawful. We have worked with the County Council parking enforcement officers who have patrolled and issued a number of parking tickets. Officers from the beat team have pursued a concerted campaign to engage and educate. We have also deliberately publicised as much of this as we could on Facebook, via the Beat team’s newsletter and on Neighbourhood Link (NHL). This was to get the message across and enforce it. We have had individual thanks from members of the community and some of the schools who have noticed a distinct difference. We will continue this in the New Year. 2) Throughout the last 3 months we responded to reports of speeding and, in particular, roads where this was raised to us. A number of speed checks were conducted on roads such as Grange Road in Hugglescote, Loughborough Road in Thringstone, Station Road in Ibstock as well as locations in Bardon and Greenhill. We mostly adopt a tiered approach of engage, educate and enforce. A number of s.59 Police Reform Act tickets were issued to drivers identified driving in a dangerous manner or driving in an anti social manner. 3) In October, November and December the beat team have conducted a number of patrols in affected areas. We have shared warning messages and provided security advice on Facebook and NHL. We have worked with Screwfix in Coalville to supply van users with free stickers to put on their van with “All tools have been removed” signage to deter thieves. Similarly a number of building sites on the area have been visited and stickers delivered there too. Numbers for this type of crime had dipped in October and November but we have seen an increase recently. The beat team will continue to work on this problem. |
