The Leicester Forest East neighbourhood beat covers a densely populated Leicester suburb made up of both urban and rural housing as it stretches west from the city along the busy A47 towards Kirby Muxloe.

It also covers the rural villages of Kirby Muxloe and Glenfield. The area is largely residential but continues to expand, with a number of new housing developments currently underway. Also within the village is the English Heritage owned Kirby Castle, along with a number of shops and three public houses.

Current Priorities

Issue

Road Safety including speeding vehicles and vehicles being driven in an anti-social manner.

Action

We will be utilizing beat surgeries to educate motorists and issue traffic offence reports and section 59 anti-social behaviour notices to drivers committing offences or using their vehicles in an anti-social manner.

Issue

Nuisance Motorbikes causing ASB. This causes annoyance for the local community but also poses a risk to local residents and the users of the motorbikes.

Action

We will be issuing traffic offence reports and/or section 59 anti-social behaviour notices to riders committing offences or using their vehicles in an anti-social manner.

Issue

Highway Obstructions including inconsiderate and dangerous parking and vehicle obstructions.

Action

Again this month we have calls in relation to vehicle obstructions. Officers attended a vehicle causing an obstruction on Treasure Close in Glenfield, a PCSO attended and the vehicle was moved. We also received calls about numerous lorries and vans parking on the corner/curb of Ladysmith Road, Kirby Muxloe making it hard to see. Upon arrival no vehicles were illegally parked or below the required distance from the junction.
