Current Priorities
Issue
You told us there is an issue with Anti social behaviour and suspected drug dealing in the area of Occupation Road, Albert Village.
Action
We intend to regularly patrol the areas with the aim to reduce the issues of ASB and will use our stop and search powers to identify and detect any drug related offences.
As a beat team we have patrolled the areas of concern paying attention to early evenings when issues are reported to be worse. Please continue to report concerns to us.
Further patrols have been completed by the beat team and residents have been spoken to. We continue to work with partners to seek long term resolutions to on-going issues.
The beat team has spent a considerable amount of time patrolling in this area and dealing with calls as we are made aware. We are developing intelligence in the area and continue to monitor any poor behaviour reported in the area.
Issue
You told us there are issues of anti-social behaviour in Moira particular in the areas of Conkers, Moira Furnace and the Miners Welfare Club.
Action
We will look to increase patrols in the area and be present at key times when issues are reported.
We have, and continue to liaise with staff at the locations and will look to build rapport with the young people involved and deal robustly with any criminal activity identified.
Officers have conducted several reassurance patrols in the area and young people have been spoken to and searches completed where appropriate.
Young people have been engaging well with officers. We also work closely with staff at the location to ensure any issues are fully investigated.
We have competed further patrols and continue to engage with users of the sites. We are attending in the early evening and will continue to visit during the darker evenings.
We have conducted beat engagements at the location and continue to liaise with staff. Following on from public consultation we have completed targeted patrol strategies and will continue to give attention to specific sites causing issues.
This has remained a priority for the beat for several months. We continue to address the issues and are working constantly with the staff at each of the locations to ensure we can deter antisocial behaviour.
Issue
You asked us to address speeding concerns along Acresford Road in Donisthorpe.
Action
We will plan to carry out enforcement operations in the area you have highlighted to us as having repeated issues with speeding motorists.
We have carried out two speeding operations throughout October. This has resulted in words of advice and enforcement being issues to motorists in the area.
We have further operations planned for November and monitoring will continue.
Our local beat team will conduct speed checks and we will request the attendance of our speed camera van.
Multiple speeding operations have been completed over the last couple of months with a large number of vehicles being checked. Of these, we are pleased to report that a minimal number were travelling over the speed limit. We will continue to complete checks to be a visible deterrent to speeding and dangerous road users.
Further speed checks have been completed and we are liaising with local residents to address any further concerns.
