Road safety and speeding are one of the top priories for the area. The beat team complete speeding enforcement operations on a regular basis where issues have been identified. Our teams will patrol areas where speeding and other driving offences may have been reported and can use ANPR technology to identify offenders.

A number of road safety issues have been raised via SOH and online reporting to police online. As the only member of the beat team I have not had a chance to conduct a speeding operation due other commitments.

Reports of nuisance motorbikes where reported is a strong issue for residents as they can cause a significant level of risk to other road users and pedestrians when they are used on the road and driven dangerous or at excess speed.
This is a particular issue on Pougher Close, Sapcote.

Around the Croft Hill area several motos/ mopeds have been noted to be riding around on the hill itself. But no VRMS or makes or model known and no persons have been identified currently. Beat team will incorporate area to patrol plan.

Drug offences including drug use and taking has been identified as neighbourhood priority. Drug offences can have a detrimental impact on a communities.

We are currently monitoring and gathering intelligence in relation to a property on the beat where drug issues have been identified.
