The residents of Askam and Dalton have highlighted road safety and antisocial behaviour as the priorities they would like the Police to address. This includes speeding motorists, parking, abandoned vehicles and road safety around the school.

Hotspot locations have been around Ireleth School, Market Street, Dalton and Chapel Street Park. To tackle these issues, the neighbourhood police team will arrange public meetings to discuss further and gain more understanding of the offences and locations. We will then be visible in the communities and on the road side to challenge those involved in antisocial behaviour and driving. We will continue to work with in local schools to emphasise and teach road safety and the impact of antisocial behaviour to the children.
The next quarterly Police, Partners and Communities Together (PACT) survey will be a measure of our success in reducing road safety as a priority for Askam and Dalton.

Road Safety

PC Dixon has linked in with local residents regards a parking issue close to Askam level crossing following concern of vehicles parking on a blind corner. This issue is now resolved and there have been no further incidents reported.
PS Dilks and PC Dixon attended Askam Village School and agreed a joint approach with school staff following concerns raised over irresponsible parking at drop-off and pick-up times.
We've done high visibility patrols at relevant times, and issued a letter to all parents over their responsibilities when parking near the school, and we are pleased to report this matter appears resolved.
