  • Speeding - One of our standing local priorities is to improve and maintain driving standards in our area, particularly in relation to parking and speeding.
  • Anti-social behaviour - To combat complaints that have been made by local residents that there are groups of youngsters congregating in a variety of locations in the village and causing a nuisance by way of littering and excessive noise. 

How you can let us know what matters to you

You Said, We Did

  • From 01/03/2012 to 31/03/2012 - Speeding

    You said: One of our last local priorities was to tackle speeding on Norley Road.

    We did: Local officers conducted speed enforcement checks using ‘Unipar’ speed cameras on the road, numerous vehicles detained, advised and fined.

  • Anti-social behaviour

    You said: One resident has said "Gangs of kids are loitering outside of my house and have caused damage and left graffiti"

    We did: After being made aware of the issue we contacted a variety of different agencies to help solve the problem. Local officers and Community Safety Wardens performed extra high visibility patrol in the area to help identify the youths and deter any offences. The local authority was contacted to clean up the litter in the area and remove the graffiti. Also, street lighting was out in the area so this was replaced to make the area more visible and a less attractive place for people to loiter. After these measures were taken a small number of youths were identified and then spoken with in front of their parents. Since this was done the residents have had no further issues that they have reported.
