Local priorities
Local priorities set for the period of 1st April 2012 to
30th April 2012
The below priorities were agreed to be current and relevant:
- Speeding - Speed enforcement and deployment of
the 'Smiley Speed Indication Device' speed awareness device across
the entire cluster area at all times of day and night.
- Theft - To target theft of agricultural
equipment across the entire cluster area at all times of day and
night.
- Anti-social behaviour - To
target anti-social behaviour in rural villages,
including Audlem, Bunbury, Willaston, Wybunbury, Wrenbury and
the urban area of Stapeley Parish, particularly during weekend
evenings and school holidays between the hours of 6pm and
10pm.
How local priorities are agreed in the rural wards of the
Nantwich Neighbourhood Policing Team
The Nantwich Policing Unit consists of two Neighbourhood
Policing Teams - Rural and Nantwich Town. These are further divided
into wards, with beat officers. Your officers will be detailed on
the Your Team page.
The Rural team covers a large area comprising of 58 Parishes
covered by 32 Parish Councils. In order to having meaningful
contact with all of these councils and issues that may be raised to
them by the people they serve we operate a series of Cluster
meetings with an officer assigned to these cluster of Parishes.
Every three months the beat officer, supported by the Sergeant
or Inspector, holds a formal meeting with representatives of these
councils in order to agree the local priorities for the coming
quarter. In certain circumstances the Councillor may bring a
resident with them to the meeting to communicate the issue.
During this meeting the representatives are given feedback on
the previous priorities as well as a formal presentation on issues
in their area including crime, anti-social behaviour and
collisions. In addition the representatives bring forward
information that they have received within their communities via
Parish Council meetings and knowledge of their areas.
At the end of the meetings, which are chaired by a local
councillor, the local priorities for the coming period are agreed.
In addition, other issues that can be resolved are taken on board
and either dealt with by the local officer or passed onto partner
agencies if not a Policing issue; for example, a highways issue
that can be passed to Cheshire East Borough Council. These
Priorities are reviewed monthly in the period between meetings with
the chair of the group and are validated at the crime and disorder
sub-group of the Cheshire East Local Area Partnership (LAP) .
The priorities are then listed on the Cheshire Police Website
and given to the Parish Clerks of the area in order them to be
communicated to other local residents. Work is under way to provide
posters to be placed on Parish notice boards in order to
communicate this information.
In addition, information received in other formats, such as
communication to our Neighbourhood Policing Team email mailbox or
at the monthly police surgeries, are taken to these meetings to
provide a rounded view. At the moment, the website does not support
a map of the areas but the parishes are listed for the relevant
clusters and Parish Councils have been provided with this map.
If you require additional information, please contact us and we
can discuss the matter further with you.
