NN47 Forest Beat Priorities

Dear residents,

Please see below the priorities for next quarter for your local neighbourhood beat team.

Anti-social road use and inconsiderate parking at Primary Schools across the beat area.

You said: You have raised issues surrounding inconsiderate road use around our primary schools.

We will: Working with NWLDC enforcement teams and schools to promote a safer environment around local schools.

We have completed patrols and engagement at some of our local primary schools and have offered advice to those parking inconsiderately. We have also been in to school assemblies to encourage our young residents to be aware of road safety.

We have conducted patrols at Measham, Albert Village, Oakthorpe and Donisthorpe Primary Schools over the past few weeks where we have engaged with road users and listened to your concerns. We continue to work with our schools to unsure they are safe environments for all.

We have further visits planned in to cover all primary schools across the beat and will provide updates following these operations.

Conkers Activity Centre – misuse of site and associated crime. 

You Said:  We are aware of unknown persons entering the site of Conkers whilst closed, causing damage and committing theft related offences.

We will: We will conduct regular patrols of the area. Gather intelligence to identify offenders and work with the owners and managers to improve security.

Licensing Checks and work with local Licensed Premises across the beat area. 

You said: We have received an increase in the number of issues reported, associated with licensed premises in the area.

We will: We will work with licensing officers and complete visits to licensed premises to ensure conditions are being adhered to, to ensure a safe environment for all.

We have completed visits at licensed premises and engaged with licencees around safety and their responsibilities. All parties so far have engaged well and are keen to maintain high standards. We have also secured merchandise associated with our Walk Away campaign. This surrounds the message to encourage those in our pubs and nightclubs to walk away from confrontation. We will be engaging with our pubs and handing out items during night time economy patrols.

Whilst we have liaised with a number of our licensees across the beat, we are still seeing pockets of anti-social behaviour and reports of drug use in our public houses. In light of this, and the coming months showing World Cup games, this priority will continue in this period.
