You said there has been an increase in the theft of tools from vans on the Bardon Beat including in Greenhill, Hugglescote and Whitwick.

We made this one of our priorities and have patrolled key areas where offending had been recorded.

Stickers for van users with “All Tools Have Been Removed” have been given out to deter thieves. These can still be collected from members of the Beat team at any of the Beat Surgeries, at the Front Enquiry Desk and Screwfix, Coalville.

There have been 2 reports over the month regarding tools being stolen from vans. This is a decrease from a few weeks ago but efforts will continue to make sure this does not rise.

We have carried out speeding checks several times on Grange Road, Hugglescote, Station Road, Ibstock and Cropston Drive, Greenhill. We have dealt with several vehicles for exceeding the speed limit and/ or driving in an anti-social manner. A number of advisory letters have been sent out and several s.59 Police Reform Act warnings issued.

Speed is one of the FATAL 4 offences and is the biggest cause of casualties.

Operations will be advertised and resulted on Facebook and NHL. Please follow these for updates.

You said parking is a problem on key roads in Ibstock and outside schools at drop off and pick up times especially in Ellistown, Hugglescote and Whitwick.

We have prioritised patrols in these areas including a number of schools such as Broom Leys Primary School, Coalville, Ibstock Community College, St Denys Infant School, Ibstock, Hugglescote Primary School, St John the Baptist Primary School, Whitwick, Swannington Primary School and Ellistown Primary School.

We have used an incremental approach of advice, warnings, letters and vehicles being moved. We have worked with partner agencies such as Leicestershire County Council parking enforcement officers who have issued tickets to offending vehicles.
