You Said, We Did

• From 01/04/12 to 30/04/12 - Off road bikes, Birchfield

  You said: Residents raised concerns about off road bikes around Upton Rocks Mews.

  We did: We have regularly patrolled the area and a man who has been identified on an off road bike has been spoken to. We hope that this advice means fewer problems in the area regarding off road bikes. However, we will continue to monitor this next month due to the lighter nights and warmer weather.

• Drug Dealing, Broadheath

  You said: You want us to deal with drug dealing between the GUS building and Rossi’s club on Derwent Road

  We did: Extra attention has been paid to the area of Derwent Road to deter any drug dealing. Three men have been arrested, charged and are at present being held in custody after being refused bail. A woman has also been arrested, charged and is on strict bail conditions.

• Anti-social behaviour, Hough Green

  You said: To tackle anti-social behaviour around Bechers shops and specifically the Deeper Life Church.

  We did: Due to the success of the football the community centre have been trying to start Zumba classes to give the girls an option as well. At present we have been tackling an increase of fires in the area. These fires are very serious and potentially are putting risk to people’s lives. Patrols have been increased to try to deter or caught the individuals responsible. We urge residents not to leave their bins or rubbish out when they are not getting emptied to try and reduce/ eliminate risk. If you have any information about the fires or see anyone they believe may be starting fires, please contact us.
