Current Priorities
Issue
To target ASB involving young people in Kegworth Village.
Action
You have been reporting Anti social behaviour involving young people in Kegworth Village.
We have identified key locations and persons becoming involved in anti-social behaviour and have started working with individuals on the ASB tiered approach.
For the next three months additional high visibility patrols will be undertaken in the village by Neighbourhood Officers to deter anti-social behaviour and we will continue to work with those engaging in ASB and their families.
Our findings so far have been that the ASB activity is being caused by local children in their early teens who are meeting up and hanging out together in the street. Without any plans and out of boredom they are making a nuisance of themselves, being verbally abusive to local shop keepers and residents and causing minor damage. We ask that parents be intrusive into their child's social activities, where they are going, who with and what they are doing. If they are just meeting in the street with no plans its likely they are going to end up involved in this kind of activity and you may find us returning them to you.
We are currently working with several families to combat the ASB being caused in the village and hope this work will have a positive effect in your community.
Issue
To provide crime prevention advice specific to car key burglaries across the Valley Beat.
Action
We have seen a recent increase in the amount of burglaries committed where the sole intention is to locate car keys in order to steal your car.
We want to focus on preventing you from being victim to this kind of crime and will use a range of crime prevention strategies including going house to house in effected areas, targeting social media campaigns to provide specific crime prevention advice and holding beat surgeries and seminars locally.
We will be conducting increased high visibility patrols and work with local communities to increase home and vehicle security.
Issue
To deal with vehicle related ASB in the vicinity of Diseworth Road, Castle Donington.
Action
You told us there are still ongoing issues with vehicles causing ASB in and around the area of Diseworth Road, Castle Donington.
To reduce the effect this is having on local residents we will increase our patrols in these areas and take action against any drivers causing ASB using a range of powers available to us.
