Local priorities
Local priorities set for the period of 1st May 2012

The following priorities have been set by Sergeant Andy Miller
having considered the information held on police systems and the
results of various public engagement throughout the month of
November in the Wilmslow South area. You can influence these
priorities by attending one of our public meetings, speaking to
officers on patrol or by calling us on 0845 458 6374
(Voicemail):
- Anti-social behaviour - Anti-social
behaviour incidents are still being reported in the area around
Wilmslow Leisure Centre and the Rectory Fields area of Wilmslow
involving local youths. This problem has been going on for a while
so we will be focussing on this area and any youngsters found
acting in an anti-social manner will be dealt with robustly.
- Mini Motos - To continue to monitor,
prevent and prosecute those responsible for the illegal and
anti-social use of Mini Motorbikes and Quad Bikes in public open
spaces.
- Alcohol-related crime - To work with the
Licensed Premises in Wilmslow to set up the ArcAngel protected town
initiative to combat alcohol-related disorder and underage drinking
in the Town Centre. This project is now well underway and a vast
Majority of the Pubs and Clubs in Wilmslow are involved.
- Thefts of York stone - A recent Community
Focus Group has highlighted that York Stone Thefts are on the
increase again and some are not being reported to the Police. We
will be focussing on this issue over the next few months
specifically from a crime prevention perspective as the such stone
is very difficult to identify and return to the original owner once
stolen and recovered. We would ask the Community to inform the
Police if they see anyone removing York Stone slabs from a driveway
or garden immediately, especially if that Property is temporarily
unoccupied.
- Speeding - A recent Community Focus Group has
highlighted that there is great concern over motorists speeding on
Moor Lane, Styal Road and Hollin Lane in Wilmslow as well as other
main roads. As such we will be utilising the Speed Indication
Devcice in these locations over the coming months to measure the
speeds and decide on a suitable course of action for these
areas.
- Parking problems - A recent Community Focus
Group has highlighted that there are great concerns over illegal
and obstructive parking in numerous locations around Wilmslow but
specifically on Chapel Lane, Hill Top Avenue and around Local
Schools at pick up and drop off times. We will focus on these areas
over the next 3 months in a bid to educate drivers and take
enforcement action where necessary.
