Current Priorities

Issue

Tackle drug and alcohol use and associated anti-social behaviour in parks including Rothamsted Park.

Action

•Two teenagers have been identified following damage to the football pitch lights.
•We are continuing to patrol Rothamsted park on our bikes.

Issue

Tackle speeding mainly in Redbourn Road, Marford Road, Station Road, Lower Luton Road, Brewhouse Hill and The Hill. As well as Wheathamstead Road in Harpenden, St Albans Road in Sandridge, The Common in Kinsbourne Green and Piggotshill Lane.

Action

•We have used the speed gun in Wheathampstead and Kinsbourne Green and issued words of advice to drivers slightly over the speed limit. Anyone excessively over the limit could be fined, sent on a drivers’ improvement course or summonsed directly to court.
•We will continue to run speeding operations in the roads you have identified as being an issue.

Issue

Tackle thefts from insecure vehicles and theft of motor vehicles.

Action

•We continue to work closely with Harpenden town council to help prevent thefts of, and from, motor vehicles.
•We have produced a video highlighting how easy it is for opportunist thieves to steal cars and steal from cars. Make sure you remove all belongings and securely lock your vehicle. To help prevent thefts from cars, consider using a steering wheel lock. To reduce keyless car thefts, keep your keys in a metal container when at home to stop thieves by-passing the signal and starting the engine.
