Local priorities

Local priorities set for the period of 1st May 2012 to 31st May 2012

Local priorities agreed following the community forum meeting.

• Parking issues - We have received a number of Parking and speeding complaints on Queensway. This will be tackled with public awareness and enforcement.
• Anti-social behaviour - To tackle anti-social behaviour and traffic offences related to vehicles on the Marina Carpark Wharton were young adults are driving to the area along the bypass then parking up on the carpark causing a disturbance to residents. 
• Crime Stoppers awareness- We will be carrying out a Crime Stoppers awareness initiative on the Crook Lane Estate to make the community aware of Crime Stoppers and the the support it gives to the Police.  

How you can let us know what matters to you

• Report crimes and report anti-social behaviour
• Come along to your next beat meeting
• Volunteer to become a Special Constable or Police Support Volunteer
• Email us your views at winsford.npt@cheshire.pnn.police.uk

You Said, We Did

• From 01/04/12 to 30/04/12 - Anti-social behaviour

  You said: We have had continued complaints from residents regarding the anti-social use of mini motors.

  We did: During the past month these incidents have dramatically reduced as a result of our intervention. We have highlighted the problems in the local community to make people aware. We have issued 7 warning letters to individuals who have these bikes and have been suspected of using them in the community. One bike has been seized. We have also linked up with the local housing trust who will support tenancy action if tenants are found committing offences or anti-social behaviour with these machines. I would urge the community to call the police or the council if they are aware of people using these illegally in the area so we can take positive action.

• Street robberies

  You said: Last month we had six incidents of street robbery and so one of our priorities will be to tackle this type of criminality.

  We did: A number of arrests have been made in connection with the incidents. We have had only one offence this month, where a 16-year-old had their mobile phone stolen. Two men have been arrested for this offence and bailed pending further enquires.
